Answer 1

You can use PackageItemInfo -> nonLocalizedLabel to get application name.

val applicationName = context.applicationInfo.nonLocalizedLabel.toString()

Usually, we do add the application name with app_name string resource, so you can write below code to access the app name

String applicationName = getResources().getString(R.string.app_name);

Reference : Resource Types

But note that, this resource name is not mandatory and can be changed to any other string name. In that case, the code will not work. See the first code snippet which uses PackageItemInfo -> nonLocalizedLabel above for a better solution.
