.which method will call when installing app in device.

use "shared preference" . after install the app , change the boolean value is true.

handle that condition . initially it has be false at that time you call the service. after that you change the boolean value.

You can listen to android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED broadcast do your task in receiver like following

Register Receiver

<receiver android:name=".ApplicationInstallationListener">
    <intent-filter android:priority="100">
         <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED"/>  
         <data android:scheme="package"/> 
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

ApplicationInstallationListener.java

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;

public class ApplicationInstallationListener extends BroadcastReceiver {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent arg1) {
    // TODO send user information
    }
}

You would create a service, and in your Manifest.xml you would register a BroadcastReceiver for that service that listened for this filter: Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_INSTALL
