Can I update an iOS Enterprise App in the background like an App Store app can?

I have an iOS enterprise app that we are wirelessly distributing to our devices. Currently the app polls our server once a day to see if there is an app update. If there is, we try to install it by having the app call the following code:

        NSURL *installUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"itms-services://?action=download-manifest&url=%@", plistUrl]];
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:installUrl];

This causes the app to prompt the user with an alert dialog to install the update. If they click install, the app closes and the update is downloaded and installed.

I am wondering if there is anything for enterprise apps for iOS 7 similar to the AppStore's automatic updates? I would like to be able to update our app without the user having to press an update button and be able to update at a time when the user won't have to wait for it to install.
