Try this

PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
        boolean app_installed;
        try {
            pm.getPackageInfo("PackageName",PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
            app_installed = true;
        }
        catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
            app_installed = false;
        }

And see this
