Do nothing.
The users preferences are how they like their app, or if they've never changed it from the defaults you originally gave them, presumably they are happy with that. Just make the button available and mention it in your release notes - if they want it, they can easily add it. Changing the UI programatically is just not worth the trouble, and you probably want to minimise surprises, even if you think your new button is the greatest thing ever, and want to have it used.
