Thanks Tre - you're correct about the broadcast event. I only wanted to know if there was some Intent broadcasted by the Android system stack when any app is about to be installed. So it would apply equally to side-loaded apps, and other app stores. So far, I don't suppose there's any such intent provided by the Android stack.
