First, you'd have to publish your app to Google Play. Make sure that:

1. The version code you published is higher than the one you're going to test the updates with, because if not, then it wouldn't recognize it as an update. Then let the Google Play refresh its cache for quite some time (in my case, I've waited for 12 hours before I was able to make it work for the first time).
2. You've signed both apks with the same signature.

If you want to have a working demo app, I've uploaded a git repository with a lower version code than the one that I've published in Google Play.
