Does Google Play send update notification to Beta

问题:

I've built an application and shared the apk (properly signed) to a few beta testers using an URL, not the Market.

Now my app is ready to go to the Market and I would like to know if an "update" notification will be displayed to the beta testers.

Beta version: android:versionCode="4"

Ready to market version: android:versionCode="6"

Yes, Google Play(Android Market) will send the notification to the Beta testers provided following are fulfilled

1. versionCode of the APK on the market is higher than the versionCode of an installed version
2. the package name is the same
3. same certificate has been used to sign the app
