you can get current launcher package name using below code:

PackageManager localPackageManager = getPackageManager();
Intent intent = new Intent("android.intent.action.MAIN");
intent.addCategory("android.intent.category.HOME");
String str = localPackageManager
        .resolveActivity(intent, PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY)
        .activityInfo
        .packageName;
Log.e("Current launcher Package Name:", str);
