A cool answer to other problems. If you do not want to differentiate "com.myapp.debug" and "com.myapp.release" for example !

public static boolean isAppInstalled(final Context context, final String packageName) {
    final List appsInfo = context.getPackageManager().getInstalledApplications(0);
    for (final ApplicationInfo appInfo : appsInfo) {
        if (appInfo.packageName.contains(packageName)) return true;
    }
    return false;
}
