Using a running service as a context

I use Airdroid's widget to start its service when I connect to my PC. When connected I'd like the display timeout to extend to 10 minutes. It's easy enough to do if I run the app and set it as the context, but the widget only calls the service.

Is there a way to have the service as the context?
