How to get default Android Home screen package and activity name

I know that we can get Package and Activity names by using "adb shell dumpsys window windows" and get values from mFocusedApp.

But when i just connect my device and trying to get package and activity names, for that i am getting appPackage as com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox appActivity as com.google.android.launcher.GEL

But these values doesnt seemed to be right. When use the above in Appium tool, the tool is malfunctioned.

Can someone tell me how to get these package or activity name?

The adb shell command to show the default launcher activity in Android 7.0+ without having to bring the launcher app to the front is:

adb shell cmd shortcut get-default-launcher

Also com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.launcher.GEL is a legitimate activity. So whatever malfunction you experienced - take it to the Appium developers.
