One possible way may be android os customization. Otherwise I think you can't do this. You can see this Stop uninstallation of application

Without customization, you can get a message(using intent) when user try to uninstall a package.

You should look at Device Administration .

Once the application is registered as a Device Administrator, it can't be uninstalled unless its unregistered. This will prevent the app from being uninstalled.

You can password protect your application to prevent someone from tampering with the Device Admin features in the app.

Please read this example. It is explaining all the details with sample tutorial.
