Deleting fields on a server DB

Question

I'm doing an Android app that has a database hosted on a server. When you run the app for the first time, you must register and data is stored on the server.

I would like to delete the user on the server when uninstalling the app of his/her device.

Is this possible?

Broadcast Action: An existing application package has been removed from the device. The data contains the name of the package. The package that is being installed does not receive this Intent.

As per Android Document

Broadcast Action: An existing application package has been removed from the device. The data contains the name of the package. The package that is being installed does not receive this Intent.

Conclusion

Not Possible

Suggestion

You can put some Remove Account type of screen or menu inside your application. You can hope user to do that before uninstalling.
