Getting launcher activity class name

Is there a way to get the class name of the activity that launched the Intent without putting extras to the Intent?

I use the following code to launch other activities.

Intent intent = new Intent(CallerClass.this, TargetClass.class);
startActivity(intent);

Can I get the caller class' name in the target class?

String packageName = context.getPackageName();
Intent launchIntent = context.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(packageName);
String className = launchIntent.getComponent().getClassName();

One way you could do it is by using startActivityForResult() instead of startActivity(Intent) and then have the second activity use getCallingActivity() to get the CallerClass.

use startActivityForResult then you can retrieve activity caller by : getCallingActivity().getClassName()
