Refresh MainActivity on returning from preference setting screen

I have got Preference screen . I want to instantly execute the settings changed in preference screen to MainActivity's listview

Preference.xml

<PreferenceScreen xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<PreferenceCategory android:title="Sys apps">
<CheckBoxPreference
    android:title="Sytem Apps"
    android:key="system"
    android:defaultValue="true"
    android:summary="Click To View Only Installed Apps"
    />
</PreferenceCategory>
</PreferenceScreen>

MainActivity.class

public class MainActivity extends ListActivity {
PackageManager packageManager;
List<ApplicationInfo> applist;
Listadapter listadapter;
String packageName="";
boolean isUnInstallClicked;
int mPosition;
boolean installed;
ApplicationInfo info;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    packageManager = getPackageManager();

    new LoadApplications().execute();

}   

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();

    if(isUnInstallClicked && !appInstalledOrNot(packageName)){
        applist.remove(listadapter.getItem(mPosition));
        listadapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

}


private boolean appInstalledOrNot(String uri){
    PackageManager pm=getPackageManager();
    boolean app_installed;
    try{
        pm.getPackageInfo(uri,PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
        app_installed=true;
    }catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e){
        app_installed=false;
    }
    return app_installed;
}

private List<ApplicationInfo> checkForLaunchIntent(List<ApplicationInfo> list) {
    ArrayList<ApplicationInfo> applist = new ArrayList<>();
    SharedPreferences preferences= PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(getBaseContext());
    installed=preferences.getBoolean("system", true);
    for (ApplicationInfo info : list) {
        try {
            if(installed==true) {
                if ((info.flags & ApplicationInfo.FLAG_SYSTEM)!=0) {
                    applist.add(info);
                    listadapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                }
            }
            else if(installed==false){
                if ((info.flags & ApplicationInfo.FLAG_SYSTEM)==0) {
                    applist.add(info);
                    listadapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                }

            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    return applist;
}

private class LoadApplications extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {
    private ProgressDialog progress = null;

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
        applist = checkForLaunchIntent(packageManager.getInstalledApplications(PackageManager.GET_META_DATA));

        listadapter = new Listadapter(MainActivity.this, R.layout.list_item, applist);

        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void aVoid) {
        setListAdapter(listadapter);
        progress.dismiss();
        super.onPostExecute(aVoid);

    }

    @Override
    protected void onPreExecute() {
        progress = ProgressDialog.show(MainActivity.this, null, "loading apps info,,,");
        super.onPreExecute();
    }

}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();

}
}

I want that when "system==false" , mainactivity's listview gets updated with installed apps as soon as i click back and return on mainactivity.

Load the applications list in onStart() instead of onCreate(). (There are some other options if this is not to you liking, but this one is probably the easiest.)
