To save your clicks:

Launch this to check if TTS is installed or not:

Intent checkIntent = new Intent();
checkIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_CHECK_TTS_DATA);
startActivityForResult(checkIntent, MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE);

and then get result in this:

private TextToSpeech mTts;
protected void onActivityResult(
    int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE) {
    if (resultCode == TextToSpeech.Engine.CHECK_VOICE_DATA_PASS) {
        // success, create the TTS instance
        mTts = new TextToSpeech(this, this);
    } else {
        // missing data, install it
        Intent installIntent = new Intent();
        installIntent.setAction(
            TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_INSTALL_TTS_DATA);
        startActivity(installIntent);
    }
}
}
