Description
Feature description
A termux-widget command that shows the texts right in the home screen widget, like we use termux-notification or termux-toast.
Expected usage
termux-widget --id widget1 --title "Sample title" --text "Sample text"
This should show the passed text arguments. If this feature is available, the possibilities are extended like notifying script outputs, watching logs, piping other termux-api outputs to home screen.
I have currently implemented a prototype with Termux+Nginx+Meta Widget. Termux will wrap the texts inside an HTML tag. Meta Widget fetch the HTML from local Nginx service. But, this method is not that efficient.

Research direction
Start by tracing the termux-widget command and the Android homescreen-widget integration; the issue provides no file or test names. Define how --id, --title, and --text should be passed and rendered. Done means the command displays the supplied text directly in the homescreen widget without the Nginx and Meta Widget workaround.
