This is what you're after:

  try {
    $allTypes = Mage::app()->useCache();
    foreach($allTypes as $type => $blah) {
      Mage::app()->getCacheInstance()->cleanType($type);
    }
  } catch (Exception $e) {
    // do something
    error_log($e->getMessage());
  }

Here's how you would do it automatically:
