I could solve this using the xml snippet as given below. This uses the projectId. We can use the projectorFilterId too. When i do that part of coding shall post that too .

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Module>
    <ModulePrefs title="__MSG_gadget.title__"
                 title_url="__MSG_gadget.title.url__"
                 description="__MSG_gadget.description__"

                 >
        <Optional feature="gadget-directory">
