Trace mobile service provider name

I have been assigned a task to access mobile service provider name instead of location. I searched and referred to many things. But I couldn't find. All are shown about the location (that is latitude and longitude values) and some of them shows the network provider name. I need something like Cell Info Display Name.

Example: If I'm using Vodafone Network it will display the service provider name that my mobile is currently using.

I don't need to display location and place in map. I just exactly need to show the service provider name. Is there any method? Can anyone please explain via sample code?

// Returns the alphabetic name of current registered operator

public String getServiceProvider() {

      TelephonyManager manager = (TelephonyManager)
      getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

      String carrierName = manager.getNetworkOperatorName(); // alphabetic name of current registered operator

      return carrierName;
}

Example Output: Vodafone

Use This code, It will give you your service provider name :

TelephonyManager telephonyManager = ((TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE));
String operatorName = telephonyManager.getNetworkOperatorName();

        String deviceID =telephonyManager.getDeviceId();
        String deviceID1 =telephonyManager.getSimSerialNumber();
        String deviceID2 =telephonyManager.getSimOperatorName();
