Just do these step:

1, Download file use Asynctask or Service. Solution here

2, Pass downloaded file to package installer. 

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);

It's simple set path to downloaded file and mime type. More detail here. You can also look to the right. There is a list of related questions like yours

In browser type url and press enter ,it will ask to install. But file automatically installation process is basing on Device. If you go for Htc mobile It will be automatically installed but not for samsung mobiles
