open my android program after update

Question

I use https://stackoverflow.com/a/14353076/1327384 to update my android program , but after updating my program it will be closed so I want to reopen it after completing the update process , how can I do that ?

I used this class

package services;
    public class PackageChangeReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
         @Override
            public void onReceive(Context ctx, Intent intent) {
            Uri data = intent.getData();
            boolean replacing = intent.getBooleanExtra(Intent.EXTRA_REPLACING, false);

            Intent intent1 = new Intent(ctx, service.class);
            ctx.startService(intent1);
            Log.d("service", "Action: " + intent.getAction());
            Log.d("service", "The DATA: " + data);
            }

    }

and this mainfest

 <receiver android:name="services.PackageChangeReceiver" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REMOVED" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REPLACED" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED" />

                <data android:scheme="package" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

but I still receive the intent after I start the app manually

Answer 1

a) Take a look at android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REPLACED.

b) I believe if your app has a sticky service then this service is restarted after package update.

Answer 2

May be AlarmManager can help? You can set task to start Activity of your app for example in 40 seconds after your apk downloaded and user clicked to install it.
