Only if you built your own edition of Android.

It is entirely possible to have an NFC tag point to a URL that, in
turn, points to an APK file. At best, all this will do is download the
file. The user will still have to manually indicate that they want to
install it, manually go through the installation steps, and manually
start the app once installed.
