Issue 766726  has been merged into this issue.

When I was trying to trigger the ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED broadcast (via adb install -r ChromePublic.apk) I noticed that ResourceExtractor already runs:

org.chromium.base.ResourceExtractor.startExtractingResources(ResourceExtractor.java:227)
org.chromium.chrome.browser.init.ChromeBrowserInitializer.postInflationStartup(ChromeBrowserInitializer.java:237)
org.chromium.chrome.browser.init.ChromeBrowserInitializer.handlePreNativeStartup(ChromeBrowserInitializer.java:167)
org.chromium.chrome.browser.init.ChromeBrowserInitializer.handleSynchronousStartupInternal(ChromeBrowserInitializer.java:147)
org.chromium.chrome.browser.init.ChromeBrowserInitializer.handleSynchronousStartup(ChromeBrowserInitializer.java:127)
org.chromium.chrome.browser.ChromeBackgroundService.launchBrowser(ChromeBackgroundService.java:108)
org.chromium.chrome.browser.ChromeBackgroundService.handleSnippetsOnBrowserUpgraded(ChromeBackgroundService.java:125)
org.chromium.chrome.browser.ChromeBackgroundService.onInitializeTasks(ChromeBackgroundService.java:139)
com.google.android.gms.gcm.GcmTaskService.onStartCommand(Unknown Source)

This was on KitKat - not sure if this runs on other Android versions yet. I also don't really see exactly why this runs or what initiates it, but if it happens consistently than it might not be worth it to add another task for ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED?

This issue has been Available for over a year. If it's no longer important or seems unlikely to be fixed, please consider closing it out. If it is important, please re-triage the issue.

Sorry for the inconvenience if the bug really should have been left as Available.

@agrieve, Still relevant?

Nope. I think #2 shows this is already the case.
