Or just create a hidden stub in RAM that registers for reset and searches for and deletes your program in RAM.
You would have to think about getting rid of the stub when the user "uninstalls" you app from the card... Maybe use the sysNotifyDeleteProtectedEvent. Then unprotect yourself and delete the stub when you get notified. Third party launchers and card managers usually don't notify apps properly in this case.
