there are lots of question about this topic but all are only about getting the package name. what i want is get the activity name.

currently i am using the below method to get the activity name but as you know ActivityManager.getRunningTasks is now deprecated, so is there an alternative way to get this or i should stick with this and it won't do any harm?

ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) context.getSystemService(context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
                    List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> taskInfo = am.getRunningTasks(1);   //deprecated 


//taskInfo.get(0).topActivity.getClassName() //this gets the activity name

Is Late, but maybe this can help someone else:

String activityName = (String) activity.getTitle();
