How I can install apk automatically when the sdcard put on?

I have not any idea. How can I install apk automatically when the sdcard put on?

However, I have got an problem, When I register the receiver that listened to the ACTION_MEDIA_SHARED in AndroidManifest.xml Em... I create a Receiver that extends BroadcastReceive, I override OnReceive(). But, finally, the Receiver can not get any Action. Here is my code. Frustrating!!!!!

<receiver android:name=".SdcardPutOnListener"
    android:exported="true">

    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_MEDIA_BAD_REMOVAL" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_MEDIA_MEDIA_CHECKING" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_MEDIA_EJECT" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_MEDIA_NOFS" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_MEDIA_REMOVED" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_MEDIA_SHARED" />
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_MEDIA_UNMOUNTABLE" />
        <data android:scheme="file" /> 
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME"/>
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

public class SdcardPutOnListener extends BroadcastReceiver {
    final static String TAG = "SdcardPutOnListener";
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.i(TAG, "receive broadcast " + intent.getAction()); 
    }
}

You could create an app that watches for the ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED broadcast, then looks at external storage in a well-known spot for an APK file, then calls startActivity() with an ACTION_VIEW Intent on the path to that APK file, with the right MIME type (application/vnd.android.package-archive).

If you are expecting this to be built into the operating system, it is not.
