The Android package manager sends various broadcast intents while installing (or updating / removing) applications.

You can register broadcast receivers, so you will get notifications e.g. when a new application has been installed.

Intents that might be interesting for you are:

• ACTION_PACKAGE_INSTALL
• ACTION_PACKAGE_REPLACED
• ACTION_PACKAGE_CHANGED
• ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED

Using broadcast receivers is not a big deal:

BroadcastReceiver myReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        // do whatever you want to do
    }
};

registerReceiver(myReceiver, new IntentFilter("ACTION"));
unregisterReceiver(myReceiver);
