There is no way for you to know whether the package is installed by your app just with the information in the Intent received by your BroadcastReceiver. Technically, your app isn't installing anything, the system does that (third party apps do not have the privilege to install other apps).

You will have to check the package name from the Intent data and compare it to apps the user downloaded with your app. That's the best you can do.
