¿Cómo obtener el nombre del paquete de una aplicación y luego lanzar esa aplicación usando Intent?

Estoy desarrollando una aplicación para Android. En esa aplicación, hay un botón para ir a otra actividad que contiene una lista de aplicaciones instaladas en el teléfono. Cuando el usuario selecciona una aplicación, el nombre de su paquete se guarda y el usuario vuelve a la actividad anterior. Pero, ¿cómo puedo obtener el nombre del paquete?

        // Create the list fragment and add it as our sole content.
        if (fm.findFragmentById(android.R.id.content) == null) {
            AppListFragment list = new AppListFragment();
            fm.beginTransaction().add(android.R.id.content, list).commit();
        }
    }
