Abstract
A method and apparatus provides a user of a mobile device with a notification after an application (also referred to as an 'app') has been downloaded and installed. A user interacting with an original app can select a link to download a new app. After download and installation of the new app has been requested, the original app polls the operating system to determine if the new app has been installed. A notification is provided to the user by the original app after the new app has been installed. A notification is also transmitted to an external server indicating that a user has requested downloaded, installed, and/or opened the application.
