I'm looking for ideas on how to have a package that is not distributed
through the Android Market (it's in closed Beta) upgrade itself.

I had hoped to download the .apk file from my web server and then use
PackageManager.installPackage(), but that requires the
INSTALL_PACKAGES permission, which is apparently not available to
packages not installed in /system/app.

Best idea I have now is to launch an Intent to download the .apk (via
web browser), but that would require the user to then manually install
the package, which is unkind.

Other ideas?
