There isn't any. When your app starts you have to check if the updates have been done; if they haven't, then do them and set some sort of flag to indicate they've been run.

I solved it by storing the version name to sqlite database. And in the main page I always check if the Android manifest's version name is same as stored version name in local sqlite db.
