Answer 2

So here is an update. Tested in 5.0 and 5.1.1 device. Working perfectly.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) { //For versions less than lollipop
            ActivityManager am = ((ActivityManager) getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE));
            List<ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo> taskInfo = am.getRunningTasks(5);
            top = taskInfo.get(0).topActivity.getPackageName();
            Log.v(TAG, "top app = " + top);
        }else{ //For versions Lollipop and above
            List<AndroidAppProcess> processes = ProcessManager.getRunningForegroundApps(getApplicationContext());
            Collections.sort(processes, new ProcessManager.ProcessComparator());
            for (int i = 0; i <=processes.size()-1 ; i++) {
                if(processes.get(i).name.equalsIgnoreCase("com.google.android.gms")) { //always the package name above/below this package is the top app
                    if ((i+1)<=processes.size()-1) { //If processes.get(i+1) available, then that app is the top app
                        top = processes.get(i + 1).name;
                    } else if (i!=0) { //If the last package name is "com.google.android.gms" then the package name above this is the top app
                        top = processes.get(i - 1).name;
                    } else{
                        if (i == processes.size()-1) { //If only one package name available
                            top = processes.get(i).name;
                        }
                    }
                    Log.v(TAG, "top app = " + top);
                }
            }
        }

Thanks to this library

Now i'm able to get foreground task in Android 5.0+
