PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
ApplicationInfo applicationInfo = pm.getApplicationInfo(packageName, 0);
if ((applicationInfo.flags & ApplicationInfo.FLAG_EXTERNAL_STORAGE) != 0) {
    // installed on sdcard
}

U can check this code and see whether we have installed on internal or external storage

(Note: u can use it in oncreate or any where)

ApplicationInfo io = getApplicationContext().getApplicationInfo();

if(io.sourceDir.startsWith("/data/")) {
Toast.makeText(this,"your app is in internal storage",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

//application is installed in internal memory
} else if(io.sourceDir.startsWith("/mnt/") || io.sourceDir.startsWith("/sdcard/")) {
Toast.makeText(this,"your app is in external storage",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//application is installed in sdcard(external memory)
}
