You can detect that a new version is available, perhaps by periodically
checking some Web site you manage. You can download the update. You can
tell Android to open the update. At that point, though, the user will go
through the same sort of update process as if they had found your update
in the Android Market -- a confirmation screen or two before the update
will be processed. If you are seeking a silent update, that's not
possible by ordinary SDK applications.
