how to prevent applications to be installed in Android phone

I am developing a customer care android application. The client want that only the customer care application should be installed in the Android phone and we should prevent installation of other application. Is there any hack we can do to do that?

Fortunately, not from a standard SDK app -- the technical term for this would be "malware".

As the comments to your question indicate, you are welcome to root the device, remove the Google Play Store client (if it exists), and disable the ability to install from non-Play sources by adjusting the secure settings. However, I suspect that this will prevent you from updating your own app without rooting.
