I figured out how to check the application label. I was using the debugger to see what all was being returned in packageInfo that's why I didn't see it initially.

public static boolean isGooglePlayInstalled(Context context) {
    PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
    boolean app_installed = false;
    try
    {
           PackageInfo info = pm.getPackageInfo("com.android.vending", PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
           String label = (String) info.applicationInfo.loadLabel(pm);
           app_installed = (label != null && !label.equals("Market"));
    }
    catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e)
    {
           app_installed = false;
    }
    return app_installed;
}
