I don't think it's possible to do what you're trying to do. Installing an
app (or even a library for that matter) requires the user's consent. If the
app is already installed it's a different story.

To do this in a future-proof way, you would set the <intent-filter> on
the receiver app to handle your type of data and sending extras with
the intent from the sending app.
For example: if you are making an app that SEND's plain text:
In the java of the app to send the text:
final Intent sendIntent = new Intent();
sendIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
sendIntent.setType("text/plain");
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, EXTRA_SUBJECT);
sendIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, EXTRA_TEXT);
try {
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(sendIntent, "Send"));
} catch (
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex) {}
In the manifest, in the appropriate activity:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<data android:mimeType="text/plain"/>
</intent-filter>
In the java file's onCreate() check for the standard SEND EXTRAS:
final String EXTRA_SUBJECT = getIntent().getStringExtra
(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT);
final String EXTRA_TEXT = getIntent().getStringExtra
(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT);
This concept can be used for other data and intents as well.
Hopes this helps,
