Yep that would be fine. What I do is send back an update url for the download originator. For andappstore I was using a generic version name which would go to my site for an update. I will start building one for andappstore now.
It seems that the Google urls I provided are working on the phone just not the browser. It looks like my current update notification to the Google Market is working on the real hardware. I already had a custom build for SlideME, but no custom URL. I would just use my own site for all updates but I couldn't handle the Google Market bandwidth needs, and I want to have payments work the same way so I can keep with the terms of each site and know when and where my downloads are coming from. I have > 40,000 downloads across my 4 games and more than 250,000 license server checks. Maybe Google can fix their download counter on updates soon.
