  If the person who has your friend's phone is still using her (your
friend's) Google account, you *can* remotely *schedule* the installion
of an app on her phone, but you can not force it to *run* and you can
not remotely *configure* it.

  Remote *scheduling*  of an app's installion is done from Google play
under her Google account.

  For example if I want to schedule the installation of DroidStats on my
phone, I start any webbrowser anywhere, go to the Google play entry of
the app [1], make sure that I'm logged into my Google account and click
the INSTALL button. Next time the Play Store app on the phone runs, it
will install the scheduled app.
