        Logger.debug("DATA:"+intent.getData().toString());
    }

You can get Application name from package using following code

final PackageManager pm = getApplicationContext().getPackageManager();
ApplicationInfo ai;
try {
    ai = pm.getApplicationInfo( "your_package_name", 0);
} catch (final NameNotFoundException e) {
    ai = null;
}
final String applicationName = (String) (ai != null ? pm.getApplicationLabel(ai) : "(unknown)");

 PackageManager packageManagers= getApplicationContext().getPackageManager();
        try {
            String appName = (String) packageManagers.getApplicationLabel(packageManagers.getApplicationInfo("com.example.packagename", PackageManager.GET_META_DATA));
        } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

check following code

PackageManager packageManager = context.getPackageManager();
ApplicationInfo applicationInfo;
try {
    applicationInfo = packageManager.getApplicationInfo(packageName, 0);
} catch (final NameNotFoundException e) {}
final String title = (String)((applicationInfo != null) ? packageManager.getApplicationLabel(applicationInfo) : "???");
