Handle Android Uninstall Event

Question

Is it possible to catch an uninstall event?

Basically whenever a user uninstalls my app I would like to fire off a web intent showing a simple form asking why they chose to uninstall. I've seen a number of apps do this.

I'm not trying to prevent the uninstall in any way, rather just fire a browser intent when uninstall is complete to gather potential feedback from users leaving the app.

Whats the best way to go about implementing something like this ?

Thanks.

NO! you cannot do that!

That's for obvious security reasons. If the user wants to uninstall an app, having said app interfere with it is not very safe.
