Description

We can get the application type from the below APIs, if provided and we can restrict apps based on this type.
Ex - CATEGORY_GAME,CATEGORY_SOCIAL,CATEGORY_VIDEO,CATEGORY_NEWS

PackageManager pm = context.getPackageManager();
List<ApplicationInfo> packages = pm.getInstalledApplications(PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);

for (ApplicationInfo appInfo : packages) {
        String appName = (String) pm.getApplicationLabel(appInfo);
        String packageName = appInfo.packageName;
        String appType = getAppCategory(pm, appInfo);
    }
