In the starting activity of your application you can try following code to get the PackageName of the app that invokes your application.

if(getIntent().getPackage()!=null){
   String packageName = getIntent().getPackage();
}

You can provide different activities to start your app, each being called by different apps. Or you can monitor user actions after app launch (navigation to screens etc) and determine which application may have launched your app. These two are relatively logical but apart from this you can monitor and look for currently running apps (look here for one possible way to do that) and then maybe determine which application launched your app.

Note that these are just strategies, not a definite answer.
