you have to write a script and save it either data/local/tmp/example.sh and it should like that example.sh

#!/system/bin/sh

cd /data/local/tmp

while true; do


for i in *.apk ; do
    if ls $i 2> /dev/null >/dev/null ; then 
        echo "`date` : Found new $i " >> /data/local/tmp/update_log


    fi
done



sleep 120
reboot 


sleep 180
done

and add it to any .sh file which is run on boot of the device it will check for any apk on data/local/tmp folder and create a list of that as update_log i put it on /data/local/tmp and bind it with init.wlan.sh on the last line with & ..hope it works for you
