If you have server deployed you can maintain the versionCode on them and check and compare it with your application on every launch. In case you have a static application you can refer to this post for solution Check Play Store App VersionCode

EDIT 1 If you need to get installed application version code and name

int versionCode = BuildConfig.VERSION_CODE;
String versionName = BuildConfig.VERSION_NAME;

Make a API call to your server get the latest released application version code. Compare both version code, If obtained version code is greater than installed version - redirect/ ask user to update application via PlayStore.
