App Install Location Documentation

I dont know why you are desire to place it on external storage, but just remember that doesn't mean your data will stay there.

The .apk file is saved on the external storage, but all private user data, databases, optimized .dex files, and extracted native code are saved on the internal device memory.

If you want to do it, in your manifest file specify:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:installLocation="preferExternal"
    ... >

Add android:installLocation to your manifest.xml install-location documentation

Add android:installLocation="preferExternal" to your manifest tag in your AndroidManifest.xml
