No, because there is no download URL. APKs are installed from local files. How the APK got to be a local file (downloaded from a URL, received in an email attachment, copied over to external storage via USB cable, etc.) is not something that you can determine.

Basically I wanted to know how many times apk is install from given URL.

You are certainly welcome to use product flavors in Android Studio/Gradle for Android to create custom APKs based on distribution channel, where those APKs have a custom value baked into them (e.g., buildConfigField mapping to a BuildConfig field).
