Unless you went through the App Store or integrated some third party analytics tool like Fabric you would need to have implemented this in the application with a request to a server with a unique identifier to keep track.

Well that seems a bit shady. You don't want to lie to people, do you?

When you release an app on the Play Store, Google will keep track of how many users download your app, and update it accordingly. So if people use your app, then your downloads (listed on the Play Store) will reflect that.

To see your current downloads, you should be able to find that information on the "Google Play Developer Console." (I would imagine; I currently don't have access to the dashboard myself.)
