In Your Mainfest file do this For SD Card

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.emx.jamalert"
    android:installLocation="preferExternal">

For Internal Memory

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.emx.jamalert"
    android:installLocation="Internal">

check android:installLocation in http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-element.html

EDIT: since from question in title i thought you want to force user to install on SD card

U no read docs

However, if you're certain that your application should never be installed on the external storage, then you should make this clear by declaring android:installLocation with a value of "internalOnly"

from http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/install-location.html
