I need to find the list of all launchers I have tried this

ArrayList<Intent> intentList = new ArrayList<Intent>();
Intent intent=null;
final PackageManager packageManager=getPackageManager();
for(final ResolveInfo resolveInfo:packageManager.queryIntentActivities(new 
    Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN).addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME), 
    PackageManager.MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY)) {

    intent=packageManager
               .getLaunchIntentForPackage(resolveInfo.activityInfo.packageName);
    intentList.add(intent);

}

this is working fine for the custom homescreen launcher but not return the default which comes with my mobile phone. thanks

You could try removing `MATCH_DEFAULT_ONLY`. – CommonsWare Dec 14 '11 at 14:05
That's rather odd. It's possible the device manufacturer is doing something unusual, not having their home screen simply be a normal app. – CommonsWare Dec 15 '11 at 12:35
