Can I used android's OTA system to update a custom app?

I have been looking at android OTA capabilities recently:

And after a lot of googling and reading I am still quite confused, Can I use this OTA thing android has for its system file and read only apps to update my own custom application?

EDIT:

I ask this because I am still searching for a way to update a application on the android device without requiring human interaction to confirm, etc. This is because I want to use the phone with an embedded system that is in a box which is hard to get into.

Solution

  • No, you can't OTA upgrades are meant to be used by carrier providers, they will sent the OTA upgrades.
