The apk is just a zip container - so you could unzip the apk and extract the manifest and parse the packagename from it. There might be a more convenient way to do this - but I am not aware of it

APKtool is just a jar - you might just add it as a dependency and call the right functions. – ligi Nov 10 '15 at 13:37
