For api level < 21

You need this permission:

And this code:

ActivityManager activityManager = (ActivityManager) this.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
List recentTasks = activityManager.getRecentTasks(10, ActivityManager.RECENT_IGNORE_UNAVAILABLE);
for (ActivityManager.RecentTaskInfo recentTask : recentTasks) {
    try {
        String packageName = recentTask.baseIntent.getComponent().getPackageName();
        ApplicationInfo appInfo = getPackageManager().getApplicationInfo(packageName, PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
        String label = getPackageManager().getApplicationLabel(appInfo).toString();
        Log.i("APPS", label);
    } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
