Remarks

Retrieves information about how a package was installed or updated.

If the calling application does not hold the INSTALL_PACKAGES permission then the result will always return null from InstallSourceInfo#getOriginatingPackageName().

If the package that requested the install has been uninstalled, then information about it will only be returned from InstallSourceInfo#getInitiatingPackageName() and InstallSourceInfo#getInitiatingPackageSigningInfo() if the calling package is requesting its own install information and is not an instant app.
