Solution

  • You can get the currently active package name and activity name using the following code,

    List< ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo > taskInfo = am.getRunningTasks(1); 

            Log.d("topActivity", "CURRENT Activity ::"
                    + taskInfo.get(0).topActivity.getClassName());

            ComponentName componentInfo = taskInfo.get(0).topActivity;
            Log.d("topActivity", "CURRENT Package ::"
                    + componentInfo.getPackageName());

    or

    if(isMusicActive().equalsto(true))
{
public static String PACKAGE_NAME = getApplicationContext().getPackageName();
// get package name of player.
}
