Hm, I read in various forums wherein users requested a feature to pass code lock un installs developers said that Google did not allow the feature on Google play apps because it could lock users from un installing malicious software.
Specifically, where's my droid devs have stated this I will their faq page. However, I would imagine that a work around to any of that would be creating a pc account through said services and inputting the IMIE number and SN of the phone at risk thus if the phone was reset and activated, the user might be able to be alerted. AT&T records those numbers and if you report your phone stolen, reactivation through a provider is blocked. We had this done when my wife's phone was jacked.
