Android install apk programmatically

Question

Is it possible to install an apk programmatically in the background or does the user have to accept the installation.

My scenario is that I want my employees to all have the same set of applications installed.

Of course they can install applications by them self, but I want them all to have at least some applications installed.

I'm not talking about installing applications from the market.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/download/" + "app.apk")),"application/vnd.android.package-archive");
startActivity(intent);
