You aren't going to be able to do this for apps already installed on the
device.  It simply won't be possible,  this would violate a lot of security
considerations.  The only way in which I can see this being remotely
possible is if you had a bunch of apps that were using a third party service
to authenticate before starting the app, and simply doing automatic
authentication without checking for password, and then updating this service
to switch it to require a password.

But for apps already out there, you simply won't be able to intercept their
lifecycle changes, this isn't really how the system's built.  (Also it would
be really bad if you could lock somebody's phone just by installing another
application.)
