How long does it typically take to submit an application and get approval on the Android Marketplace?
There is no approval delay: it may take up to an hour to list and be visible in search results, though. I've typically seen 15 minutes.
Submitting an App to the market(excluding the time you have to spend filling out information) is between 15-60 minutes. Before it was submitted and accessible within about 5 minutes but then it was not search-able. Now it takes longer but when it's done it's search-able from the start. This also applies to version updates.
The developer submission can take a couple of days until it is fully approved, sometimes they will also require you to send in documents to prove your identity and then it will take some extra time. Before, the account process didn't take any time, but I guess they added some manual control since then.
Apps: ~ 1 hour.
Dev Acc: A couple of days.

I have released my first android app on google play two days ago but it has not approved yet. Is that normal? how much time will i wait more?
If you follow the Publish an app support you'll find
For certain developer accounts, we’ll take more time to thoroughly review your app(s) to help better protect users. This may result in review times of up to 7 days or longer in exceptional cases. You’ll receive a notification on your app's Dashboard about how long this should take.

I have an app on the store that I want my users to upgrade quickly. I have made several updates before and things went smoothly: in about a week 80% of my users had the new app. Now, however, I have more users and they are taking longer to update to the new version. It has been about 3 weeks and only 55% are using the new app. I know that I could put out a message within the app saying "hey you should really update the app", but I'm also wondering: If I release a small bug-fix update do you think I will get more people to update? If I release again will a new notification go to them saying they have an update available for my app? Is this a good idea?
Thanks.
This question is too broad and doesn't really belong here, but anyway:
I would not update your app more frequently if it's not necessary, and I would especially not nag your users by frequently displaying an update notification if it's just bugfixes or minor improvements. (It's different if your users really need to update for functionality, but I guess that's not the case here).
Simply put: it's not in your hands if your users update, and imho it shouldn't be. Provide value with each update, and if your users feel it's worth it, they will update.

About 20 hours ago, I published my first android application on Google market. Everything works fine, but I would like to find out If i done something wrong. I can't see statistics for this app: "Sorry, no data for this metric". Is this because of the fact that my app is freshly published, or is it because of code (maybe I have to insert some peace of code in order to enable tracking)?
Thanks.
It takes a little longer. I'm not sure of the exact cycle, but it takes a day or so for the first update.
If its a paid app you can see the number of downloads by looking in your merchant account.

When I post an update of my app to the android market it takes hours to become available. Some times half a day why is this?
This happens even if it is just a one changed in the code or xml.
Probably the sheer number of apps that are uploaded to the Android Market per day. I bet most of the process is automated but they must scan the app for malware etc, and as Ramhound said, there is probably a human element to the process as well.
Count yourself lucky. The iOS App Store processing line is 10 + days minimum wait, but that's much more human oriented.
To be exact, only Google knows. But at least Googles bouncer needs to test your app for any malicious content. It will also take some time before everything is updated on their servers as they should be updated in a managed fashion. Also I've noticed that apps can be browsed on the web much sooner than they arrives on mobile. Besides that I don't know what slows down the process. I would believe the process being completely automatic.

As there are many androidians here I guess some experience can be shared. I can't find any concrete information how often the statistics on the google play Developer Console are updated (number of installs etc). My feeling is not more than once a day. Does anybody know?
They are supposed to be updated once every 24 hours.
However, Google Play is notoriously unreliable with statistics, and every now and then they stop updating for a few days. Even when updating, they tend to give out of date/incorrect data.
I'd suggest integrating Google Analytics for Mobile or Flurry into your app(s) if you want good statistics.
