获取用户最近启动的应用程序列表

Question

in my app ,i want to get a list of apps that were recently launched by user. for now,just log this list.

i searched about it. and i found this code:

ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
        List<ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo> runningProcessInfo = am.getRunningAppProcesses();
        for (ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo processInfo : runningProcessInfo) {
            Log.d("Nitin", processInfo.processName);
        }

but this code only prints my app name. ie com.tracker.appcount.apptracker so it means that my runningProcessInfo list is only of size 1.

i don't know where i am wrong?repeatedly i saw answer of this format.and in some posts it was accomplished using getRecentsTasks function which is now deprecated so it's of no use. please help me on this one.

Evrything is deprecated for security reasons. If you want to know about things happening on your phone, root it and use a shell to get what you need
