If you would like to check if you have app updates (without interacting with Google Play), you would obviously have to put the app on a server (providing your current version) and leave the server check if there is a newer version available. If this is the case, let the server respond with a changelog and a URL to the latest version.

There are libraries to do this:

Android Auto Update : Chinese library, but you should do the trick, away from the library but this can be just because Google Play is not available in China.
AppUpdateChecker a simple way to keep your updated application. Everything that requires the creation of a URL that points to a JSON document that describes the changes in your application.
Auto Updater This project allows you to update an APK application running using a (see apk-updater ) instead of updating via Google Play. Also comes with a server script.
SmartUpdates : older library but instructions in English and also provides a server script.
