Android `applicationInfo.name` is always null on Android API <= 24

I am working on an Android library and want to programmatically access the android:name attribute of the <application> tag from the Manifest file. According to official documentation, this is the correct way to get the android:name attribute.

myApp.applicationInfo.name //myApp is the instance of my custom Application subclass

This works fine on devices with Android API > 24. But if I use a device running Android API below that, it returns null.

PS 1: I am not interested in the application label as suggested here.

PS 2: This answer suggests that we use applicationInfo.className instead, but I cannot find any official documentation/code sample which clearly states this.
