Unfortunately, the DownloadProvider is not currently available for non-system applications to use, and that's unlikely to change in the foreseeable future. Even more unfortunately, the current implementation of the DownloadProvider uses private APIs that prevent it from being recompiled on top of the SDK, which means that you can't re-use it "as is" in your application; high-quality contributions in that direction are likely to be accepted if various efforts are synchronized in advance.
The manifest for the package installer shows you how you can invoke it: it responds to ACTION_VIEW / CATEGORY_DEFAULT on file: and content: URIs for the APK MIME type "application/vnd.android.package-archive".
