How to access the names of android apps?

Question

I want to access the names of android apps whenever I open any of them, and send them to the cloud. Is it possible to retrieve the information about apps from the system? If yes, how can I do this?

@MarcinOrlowski I tried something, but nothing worked... I deleted the code I have written before. — Shahnur Isgandarli, Aug 23 '15 at 17:42

First check this link to better understand the ResolveInfo class.

Then try this code:

final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN, null);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
final List appsList = context.getPackageManager().queryIntentActivities( intent, 0);

You will get all the necessary data in the ResolveInfo.
