You can try this receiver and permission. (But this seem only work in /system/app)^^"

<receiver
    android:name="com.your.receiver"
    android:enabled="true"
    android:exported="true" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED" />
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_REMOVED" />
                    <data android:scheme="package"/> 
                </intent-filter>
 </receiver>
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BROADCAST_PACKAGE_REMOVED" />

All the information you want is in the Intent extras.

Look at How to find the package name which has been uninstalled when using Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_REMOVED
