The only way I know to grant system-level permissions to android apps
(right now) is to install them to /system/app. Suppose you have an
installer program named my-installer.apk that you wish to give the
INSTALL_PACKAGES permission. You need to declare that permission in
the manifest, and then:
adb push my-installer.apk /system/app

must either be signed with the same certificate as the one who declared the
permission (in this case the framework in the path you supply, which is
signed with the core platform certificate), or they must be installed in the
system image.
