Launch most recent app - android

I'm working on a productivity app and I would like to be able to launch the users most recent app when a gesture is detected, however, I can't figure out why this code below isn't launching my most recent app.
ActivityManager m = (ActivityManager)context.getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
RecentTaskInfo task = m.getRecentTasks(1, 0).get(0);
startActivity(task.baseIntent);
I also have this permission in my manifest
android.permission.GET_TASKS
Thank you for any help as to why this isn't working

RecentTaskInfo task = m.getRecentTasks(1, 0).get(0);
Since you are setting max number of results to 1, you are getting your own task with get(0). To get the result you are looking for, try setting the max # of results to 2 and use the second task from the returned list:
ActivityManager m = (ActivityManager)context.getSystemService(ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
RecentTaskInfo task = m.getRecentTasks(2, 0).get(1);
startActivity(task.baseIntent);

Below code works for me to get recent 30 apps:
private static final int MAX_TASKS = 30;
final ActivityManager am = (ActivityManager)
mContext.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
final List<ActivityManager.RecentTaskInfo> recentTasks =
am.getRecentTasks(MAX_TASKS, ActivityManager.RECENT_IGNORE_UNAVAILABLE);

Fetch list of running activities in Android (from Lollipop devices onwards)

I am working on a personal project where I need to fetch a list of all running packages in android.
I have been able to fetch a list of running applications in pre-lollipop devices using this code.
ActivityManager m = (ActivityManager) getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE );
List<RunningTaskInfo> runningTaskInfoList = m.getRunningTasks(10);
Iterator<RunningTaskInfo> itr = runningTaskInfoList.iterator();
while(itr.hasNext())
{
RunningTaskInfo runningTaskInfo = (RunningTaskInfo)itr.next();
int id = runningTaskInfo.id;
CharSequence desc= runningTaskInfo.description;
String topActivity = runningTaskInfo.topActivity.getShortClassName();
int numOfActivities = runningTaskInfo.numActivities;
}
But it doesn't work with Lollipop devices. Can someone please assist me with this?
Please read the javadoc for getRunningTasks(). Basically, you can't do this any more because it's seen as a security problem for the end user.

Get the RAM usage of a process by using its pid android [duplicate]

i want to log ram usage of a given application at a given time rate. i wrote the code to get the full memory value used but do not know how to get the memory usage of a given PID.
please help me out
this is the code i used to get the memory
ActivityManager localActivityManager = (ActivityManager)getSystemService("activity");
ActivityManager.MemoryInfo localMemoryInfo = new ActivityManager.MemoryInfo();
localActivityManager.getMemoryInfo(localMemoryInfo);
Log.i("",String.valueOf(localMemoryInfo.availMem));
i think i can get it using public MemoryInfo[] getProcessMemoryInfo (int[] pids), but do not know how to code for it since im a android beginer
ActivityManager localActivityManager = (ActivityManager)getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE); // use Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE not the literal "activity"
List<ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo> procsInfo = localActivityManager.getRunningAppProcesses();
int[] pids = new int[procsInfo.size()];
for (int i = 0; i < procsInfo.size(); i++) {
ActivityManager.RunningAppProcessInfo info = procsInfo.get(i);
pids[i] = info.pid;
}
Debug.MemoryInfo[] procsMemInfo = localActivityManager.getProcessMemoryInfo(pids);
// now walk the procsMemInfo array
If you schedule a recurring timer to periodically re-query for running pids and query for memory info you can use timestamps to compute the memory usage over time.

android get process name inside BroadcastReceiver

I'm stuck in this trouble and I can't figure it out. I googled a lot, but nothing gave me an answer.
I explain:
I have a BroadCastReceiver which runs in a different process (android:process=":anotherProcess")
I want to get this process name inside my BroadcastReceiver.
In this case for example, it could be: com.my.package:anotherProcess
Is it possible? How can I do it?
I've found a way. For anyone who will need this:
int id = Process.myPid();
String myProcessName =context.getPackageName();
ActivityManager actvityManager = (ActivityManager)context.getSystemService( context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE );
List<RunningAppProcessInfo> procInfos = actvityManager.getRunningAppProcesses();
for(RunningAppProcessInfo procInfo : procInfos) {
if (id == procInfo.pid)
{
myProcessName = procInfo.processName;
}
}

Android - get actual allocated RAM size

when I open new activities, I need to know my actual memory allocation (app can have huge memory allocation and I need to test real numbers). Is there any API for that?
Thanks
Edit code is not running... there is error on last line:
ActivityManager actvityManager = (ActivityManager) this.getSystemService( ACTIVITY_SERVICE );
ActivityManager.MemoryInfo mInfo = new ActivityManager.MemoryInfo ();
actvityManager.getMemoryInfo( mInfo );
List<RunningAppProcessInfo> procInfos = actvityManager.getRunningAppProcesses();
for(int i = 0; i < procInfos.size(); i++)
{
if(procInfos.get(i).processName.equals("cz.process.a")) {
int field[]=new int []{procInfos.get(i).pid};
android.os.Debug.MemoryInfo[] info = actvityManager.getProcessMemoryInfo(field);
Still not solved. There was someone, who was an expert. But he offered me a code and wasn't able to describe it. He suggested code above, but on the last line there is a critical error.
I believe Debug and Debug.MemoryInfo classes can help you.
