The code to be inserted in your app would look like the following.
Note that no internet permissions are required. These are only needed
for the activity implementing the intent, not the app that should be
updated.
Intent service = new Intent();
service.setAction("org.openintents.intents.CHECK_VERSION");
String uri= "http://www.host.com/my-update-file";;
service.setData(Uri.parse(uri));
service.putExtra("package_name", context.getPackageName());
service.putExtra("app_name", "My App or so");
int currentVersion = -1;
try {
PackageInfo pi =
context.getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(
context.getPackageName(), 0);
currentVersion = pi.versionCode;
} catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "NameNotFoundException", e);
}
service.putExtra("current_version", currentVersion);
context.startService(service );
