Check out the UninstallAppProgress.java source in packages/apps/
PackageInstaller/src/com/android/packageinstaller
Have a look at the method and follow the flow of deletePackage. You
should be able to find out what exactly is called.
public void initView() {
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.op_progress);
//initialize views
PackageUtil.initAppSnippet(this, mAppInfo, R.id.app_snippet);
TextView installTextView = (TextView)findViewById
(R.id.center_text);
installTextView.setText(R.string.uninstalling);
final ProgressBar progressBar = (ProgressBar) findViewById
(R.id.progress_bar);
progressBar.setIndeterminate(true);
PackageDeleteObserver observer = new PackageDeleteObserver();
getPackageManager().deletePackage(mAppInfo.packageName,
observer, 0);
}
