how to get an uid from application's own pamameter?

I would like to know an uid from application's own pamameter. I know how to get an uid from PackageManager with package name, however I have noticed that an application can send a fake package name or context which is created with fake package name. How can I create an API to determine exactly an uid from any app's own parameter? Or how to check this app is system app?

Sounds like you want to get the current app id. This should do the trick. Get the result of http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Process.html#myUid() and give it to http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#getPackagesForUid(int)
