Broenink research those codes and found that the app which checks for updates from Xiaomi every 24 hours, and sends all kinds of information to Xiaomi’s servers. This app also automatically installs the update from Xiaomi’s servers, if it finds it there, the update’s file is named ‘Analytics.apk

What Xiaomi say about this

"AnalyticsCore is a built-in MIUI system component that is used by MIUI components for the purpose of data analysis to help improve user experience, such as MIUI Error Analytics. As a security measure, MIUI checks the signature of the Analytics app during installation or upgrade to ensure that only the APK with the official and correct signature will be installed. Any APK without an official signature will fail to install. As AnalyticsCore is key to ensuring better user experience, it supports a self-upgrade feature. Starting from MIUI V7.3 released in April/May, HTTPS was enabled to further secure data transfer, to prevent any man-in-the-middle attacks."
