getContext() method is undefined for the type MainActivity when get apps icon

I'm trying to get an icon of the installed app. Using the following way, I'm getting the error:

The method getContext() is undefined for the type MainActivity

try{
   String pkg = "com.app.my";//your package name
   Drawable icon = getContext().getPackageManager().getApplicationIcon(pkg);
   imageView.setImageDrawable(icon);
}
catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException ne) {

}

It would be very helpful if someone could guide me. Thanks in advance!!

Activity class extends Context .So just call getContext(); This will make use of the activities layout defined context.

Delete getContext(). Activity extends Context. Just call getPackageManager().getApplicationIcon(pkg).
