Unpack both APKs, and run

keytool -printcert -file META-INF/yourfile.RSA

Then, compare the fingerprints, if they are the same, the keys were the same.

Use PackageManager.getPackageInfo() passing GET_SIGNATURES as the flags for each of the applications.

The PachageInfo.signatures arrays can then be deep compared for equality - that is to say call equals() on each of the corresponding items in the two arrays.
