APK Removal: Last Action Before Uninstalling

I am developing an Android application that installs material on the phone’s SIM card. I do not want the application to perform the last action when uninstalling: delete everything on the SIM card. This means: I need to take the last action when my APK is removed.

Problem: I did not find a way to do this. (Besides having a secondary application that picks up the intention to remove and does the job, but it is very dangerous because of what I’m not afraid of)

If anyone has a solution, I'm really interested.

Thanks in advance.

(PS: I'm afraid there really is nobody)

You're right. There is no such event, and there is no way to receive a notification when your application is deleted. The application process is simply killed (if it was running), and the application is deleted.

If you find that other applications are uninstalled using ACTION_PACKAGE_REMOVED, could you not solve the problem if you made 2 applications? The second is a transmitter that picks up the intent and then deletes the content.
