How to get page template name? e.g. Template Name: template name

Is there any way to get the name of the page template?
I mean in a page template, at the beginning we write Template Name: template name
I want "template name" by page-id

I've tried get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_wp_page_template', true) and get_page_template_slug($post_id) but none of the function helped

There is a bit more proper way to do that. Saying we have already template path:

$template_path = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_wp_page_template', true);

Then we just do this:

$templates = wp_get_theme()->get_page_templates();
echo $templates[$template_path];

it outputs template name. as simple as that.

I have figured it out.
As I'm going to use inside WordPress admin I've used regular expression.
It's something like this preg_match('/\bTemplate Name: [a-zA-Z0-9\s\-_]+\b/',$file,$template);.
$file is the file name from get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_wp_page_template', true)

It gives me Template Name: template name and then I used some array functions to get an actual part from returned array from preg_match.

I hope this solution will help other developers in future.

Try to add this code to function.php

add_action('wp_head', 'show_template');
function show_template() {
   global $template;
   echo basename($template);
}

Let me know.
