I was looking for something like this few months back and I found out that unless you actually have a server from where you can direct the link to the Play Store, you cant do it normally. For this the best solution I found out was Firebase Dynamic Links, they do the checking on their side and takes your users to the play store if they have not installed the app. Plus it also provides analytics of the number of clicks and the sources and some information about your users.
