Answer 1

You can query the list of ResolverInfo that match with a specific Intent. The next snippet of code print all installed launchers.

PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
List lst = pm.queryIntentActivities(i, 0);
for (ResolveInfo resolveInfo : lst) {
    Log.d("Test", "New Launcher Found: " + resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName);
}
