Posting a message on FB that a user has installed an application (like FB app)

Question

Is there a way to post if a user of my application has installed the app? Just like when Facebook for Android posts "USER installed the Facebook for Android application on his phone." What type of message is this? I can't find it in the documentation of Graph API or maybe i just missed something. Anybody with some experience in this?

Thank you for your help!

Answer 1

Ok i've got the answer on FB dev forums. It's called discovery (feed) story and it's handled by FB only. So it cannot be controlled by the app/developer. So it's kind of automatic for our apps in a FB way if this message appears or not.

Answer 2

You would have to create your own Facebook Application and post to wall/feed via the FB app.

Answer 3

To do something similar, you would need to prompt the user to login and prompt them for the publish_stream extended permission. You could then post on their wall that they are using your application. But there is not a built in method to format it like the native clients can.
