How to find data usage of newly installed application in Android

How to find data usage of newly installed application?

getUidTxBytes(int uid) and getUidRxBytes(int uid) are used to get the data usage, but in case if a new app is installed and using the data, how can I identify that the new app is installed? And also how come I know the newly installed app getting data usage?
I am pretty new to this topic.

You can register for Broadcast Intents from the system like ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED and ACTION_PACKAGE_CHANGED to be notified when new applications are installed or updgraded. The UID of the package is always passed with these Intents as an extra.

SDK Docs link for more information.
