Hello Ashfaq,

If you are building a hybrid app, then you will need a plugin for this task. If this code is from a custom plugin you are building, I would suggest posting your query on the Android developer forums.

If you are looking for a general approach to updating your hybrid application from within Google Play, then you can define a service that regularly checks for updates of your app and when a new update is detected, prompts the user to install it. You can use the Market Cordova plugin to open Google Play or AppStore from within your application.
