It seems a better route would be to do something like the following:
- Have a preference to allow the user to specify if they want to have
auto-update checks
- Have a way for the user to manually check for updates, perhaps via a menu
option
- If auto-update is enabled:
- When the app is launched, start a service to check if updates are
available
- If an update is available, notify the user in the notification bar
- When the user clicks the notification, display a dialog asking if the
user would like to update
- If the user clicks yes, start your update service
Thanks,
Justin
