You have an explanation about this here, it's just a convention to keep the names of your packages like the reverse of your domain.

From SUN Convention:

The prefix of a unique package name is always written in all-lowercase ASCII letters and should be one of the top-level domain names, currently com, edu, gov, mil, net, org, or one of the English two-letter codes identifying countries as specified in ISO Standard 3166, 1981.

Subsequent components of the package name vary according to an organization's own internal naming conventions. Such conventions might specify that certain directory name components be division, department, project, machine, or login names.

why you could not follow the convention? there is any problem in just calling it com.yourname.myalert? – Guillermo Merino Apr 01 '14 at 10:59
Because, my client don't want to show the bundle name in Settings – MohanRaj S Apr 01 '14 at 11:12
Merino, do you have any idea about how to hide the segments. – MohanRaj S Apr 01 '14 at 11:22
