Allowing the silent of APKs would present a security risk as users should always be aware of what is being installed on their device, and so it is unlikely this will ever be possible.

[android-developers] Re: PackageManager.installPackage(Uri packageURI) error on Androdi 1.5 SDK
I repeat, no. If this is allowed, the user has effectively granted you every possible permission in the system. At this point we absolutely aren't going to do this. It isn't a matter of this being a hidden API or there being a workaround. If the security system is working correctly, you can't call the API whether it is hidden or not, and there is no workaround.
