we are developing an app that tracks the device in case it is stolen, the application should be in the device even after being stolen so that the we get periodic messages from the device. Is there a way to stop the person, who stole the mobile, from uninstalling the app? and also how to prevent force stop option of the app through the manage application > myApp > force stop.

No,you cannot change Android framework specification which are available currently.

Uninstall and rebooting is truly and forcefully handled by android OS.
