The idea is that the Updater will also be able check all applications it knows about by a single button clicked or scheduled task. So, once the intent from one application is processed by the Update it is possible to include this application to the periodic update.
A more general solution that includes all installed applications is currently not possible as I can't determine the location of the version info file. The apk mentioned above is provided for developers to test. In the release version the interval between two checks will be at least 24 hours, so you can start the service as often as you like but the check is only performed once every 24 hours. Furthermore, only the log cat shows whether the installed version is up-to-date or not. In both cases the notification is show (this is to simplify the tests). Would you like to have a different Notification text? Any ideas for icons?
