How to know which application install

Question

I make an application to alert the user that you install this application successfully when user install application from play store. There is any way to get an information of currently install app.

see this method http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#getInstallerPackageName%28java.lang.String%29 — Illegal Argument, Feb 24 '15 at 06:35
PackageManager is used to get all the installed applications! — Tushar Gogna, Feb 24 '15 at 06:35
@Tushar i dont want to already install app i want to know the info new install app info like antivirus which pick currenty launch or install app — Rishi Dwivedi, Feb 24 '15 at 06:36
Yes you can do that as well. [See this about how to fetch data](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5841353/3531756). And to get the latest application: PackageManager is used to get all the installed applications, then whenever you start the app again run the code and it will get new list, compare the two lists, mismatched apps are new ones. — Tushar Gogna, Feb 24 '15 at 06:42

You can find it by using an application's packagae name. For eg, for Facebook app use the following code:

 String applicationPackageName = "com.facebook.katana";
 try{
    ApplicationInfo info = getPackageManager().
            getApplicationInfo(applicationPackageName, 0 );
    return true;
} catch( PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e ){
    return false;
}
