Getting the previous tab url on click of tab in chrome extensions

I have published my application in chrome webstore (example.extension.in). Now my requirement is I would like to add the extension of example.extension.in to browser programatically. i.e., In my test application i have a icon. If i drag and drop it beside the address-bar then extension should be added to browser.

And when the user clicks on that icon while watching some other site eg: www.facebook.com then i should get the url (www.facebook.com).

Is there any way to achieve this?

You can't do it to the address bar since that's outside the web view, but you can do inline installation: https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/inline_installation

In terms of icon while on site, that's also doable. You just need to build a browser action for the icon, and use the active tab: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tabs
