Hi Raj.

1. Currently, there is no way specify code to execute when your application is added or removed, although there is an open request for this in the issue tracker. I suggest starring it so you can be alerted when its status changes:

http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-resources/issues/detail?id=5

2. You should be able to create a button within your application that links to the application information page. The page below demonstrates one way to do this. Notice that the link references the location of the application spec; change this to the URL of your own XML and you should be good to go.

3. A RESTful server-to-server API is planned but not yet available. Feel free to star the issue in the tracker:

Cheers! - Jason

Hi,

Queries:

1. How to send notification (create activity or send message ..) to friends when user adds new application to his apps list.

2. How to prompt users to add application to their apps list. Scenario: When the USER1 views application by navigating to the canvas view of USER2. Since the user do not have the application installed the application must not directly take the user to the add application screen, but must inform the user that the application needs to be installed to proceed (and provide a link to add the application)

3. Create activity from server application.

Thanks in advance
