Answer 1

Cleaner solution (without try-catch) than the accepted answer (based on AndroidRate Library):

public static boolean isPackageExists(@NonNull final Context context, @NonNull final String targetPackage) {
    List packages = context.getPackageManager().getInstalledApplications(0);
    for (ApplicationInfo packageInfo : packages) {
        if (targetPackage.equals(packageInfo.packageName)) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
