You can't detect for your app whether it has installed or uninstalled but for other apps you can get this detail using this BroadcastReceiver.
<receiver android:name=".UninstallApkReceiver">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REMOVED"/>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

I've tried this and it works, but is it legal for the Play Store? – Rafael Ruiz Muñoz Sep 25 '16 at 21:29

YES using Accessibility Service you can detect Uninstall event and then read rhe screen to find app name. Voodo app uses this concept.

Hi, Dhruv. Happy Diwali!! If you are aware of the Quora app, when I delete the app, it shows my account has been deactivated. Any idea how to do it? – Therii Nov 04 '21 at 17:39
