You can't 'automatically' upgrade your application. It always need user approval.
When installing an APK, the user will be informed of the permissions and he/she can decide to install or upgrade the application. This is a good thing. If apps could automatically upgrade themselves, without user consent/confirmation, that would be an enormous security hole.
