Is there on install event in android?

There is the ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED Broadcast Intent, but the application being installed doesn’t receive this.

So checking if a preference is set is probably the easiest solution.

SharedPreferences p = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);
boolean firstRun = p.getBoolean(PREFERENCE_FIRST_RUN, true);
p.edit().putBoolean(PREFERENCE_FIRST_RUN, false).commit();
