    android:exported="false" >
    <intent-filter>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_INSTALL" />
        <data android:scheme="package" />

</receiver>

    <activity android:name=".AndroidActivity" />

    <activity android:name=".AppleActivity" />
    <activity android:name=".BlackBerryActivity" />

    <activity
        android:name="com.example.tabbar.MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

While i am inserting this permission in manifest it shows error " Permission is only granted to system apps"

Actually i used this permission for developing application based on Oauth2 token. But i cant enable this permission. Can any Help me?

From Android Documentation about permissions:

public static final String INSTALL_PACKAGES

Added in API level 1
Allows an application to install packages.

**Not for use by third-party applications.**

Constant Value: "android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES"
