Hi All,,
Got solution. call checkUpdate() function in application level initialize event.
private function checkUpdate() : void
                appUpdater.updateURL = "http://www.aa.com/flex/aa/NativeUpdater.xml";
                appUpdater.addEventListener(UpdateEvent.INITIALIZED, updater_initializedHandler);
                //we can hide the dialog asking for permission for checking for a new update;
                //if you want to see it just leave the default value (or set true).
                appUpdater.isCheckForUpdateVisible = false;               
                //we initialize the updater
                appUpdater.initialize();   
             * Handler function for updater_initializedHandler events triggered by the ApplicationUpdater.INITIALIZED
             * @param updater_initializedHandler
            protected function updater_initializedHandler(event:UpdateEvent):void
                //initializeHandler();
                appUpdater.checkNow();
In NativeUpdater.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/1.0">
     <version>2.0</version>
      <url>http://www.aa.com/flex/aa/AutoUpdate.air</url>

Upload NativeUpdater.xml file on your Server. When you open your old .air file it will ask for replace with new version.
