Updates delivered through Google's services (which includes the Droid, of course Nexus One, and I believe a growing number of other devices) can be in one of three forms:
(1) Update available, but no notification. You need explicitly go looking for updates to see it. (2) Update available, notification shown to let you explicitly decide when to install it. (3) Update installed immediately. I think every update that has been done on Droid was of category (2); certainly any major OS update should be that. Category (3) is there only for critical security updates and I don't believe has been used yet. Likewise category (1) has never been used as far as I know.
