You could keep track of it yourself, using SharedPreferences: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/SharedPreferences.html
So, from your next version and onwards, the app should store its version number (you can hard code it) in SharedPreferences.
Then request www.yourdomain.com/latest-version-of-my-app, where you return the latest version number of your app. Then compare that with the stored version number value in SharedPreferences and if SharedPreferences value != the response from the URL, then show a dialog prompting for upgrade

1You don't need to have stored a value in sharedpreferences. You could check the appversion at runtime as well. Just fetch it using the correct methods. – David Olsson Mar 07 '12 at 11:38

I must have a website... I thought that there was a solution requesting the last version number on market ! – Eric JOYÉ Mar 29 '12 at 13:23

could the market page itself can provide latest version number ? – Jeff Bootsholz Jan 07 '14 at 02:30
