Answer 1

You can use PackageManager class to obtain ApplicationInfo:

final PackageManager pm = getApplicationContext().getPackageManager(); ApplicationInfo ai; try {     ai = pm.getApplicationInfo( this.getPackageName(), 0); } catch (final NameNotFoundException e) {     ai = null; } final String applicationName = (String) (ai != null ? pm.getApplicationLabel(ai) : "(unknown)"); 

This would return the application name as defined in <application> tag of its manifest.

Try this

final String packageName = "my.application.package" PackageManager packageManager= getApplicationContext().getPackageManager(); String appName = (String) packageManager.getApplicationLabel(packageManager.getApplicationInfo(packageName, PackageManager.GET_META_DATA)); 

and replace packageName with your package full name.

you can get packageName using mContext.getPackageName() where mContext = yourActivityName.this for Activity and getActivity() for fragment.
