Is there a way to stop user from uninstalling your app or do something before that happens?

I am aware that many similar questions to that one were asked before, but I don't seem to be able to find anything that is recent(works). If I'm wrong, please direct me to a proper solution :).

With that being said - I am working on the app that is supposed to protect a child from visiting improper websites. The issue is - kid can uninstall the app and go on its way.

What I would like to have is - preferably request for a password before uninstall is allowed. If that's impossible(which I can understand), it would be nice to at least have app shoot a message or some form of notification to the parents.

I would prefer to avoid getting into Admin-device stuff, especially since it's getting deprecated, but if there is no other way, I would love to get some help about implementing EMM to achieve my goal as well.

If it's impossible any other way, would it be possible to install a companion app, that watches over the main one and reinstalls/shoots notification upon main app's uninstallation? Could I possibly loop them to each other so that when app A is uninstalled, app B installs it again and fires it up as well as the other way around?

If nothing of what I would like is possible, is there anything similar I can do to at least let parents know about app getting uninstalled?

Thanks for all the help :)

I recommend you set your app as default launcher. Set a password for exiting launcher. If kids want to exit your launcher, they should enter a password.
