It's impossible to silently auto update an application on a non-rooted device. Android security model prevents this (for a good reason), and AFAIR there's no workaround except rooting the phone. You may check the autoupdater source code I wrote to see how it's done.

i think i don't get your question by 100%, but have you seen the "auto update this app" on the play store?

when you download an app you have this checkbox so the user can decide. As a developer I think you cannot.
