                // Get all app information in Application info
                appInfo = pm.getApplicationInfo(newInfo.pname, 0);

                String appFile = appInfo.sourceDir;
                newInfo.size = String.valueOf(new File(appFile).length());

                long installed = new File(appFile).lastModified();
                newInfo.date = String.valueOf(installed);

                Date dtappdate = new Date(installed);
                newInfo.instdate = String.valueOf(dtappdate.toString());

Try this:

        PackageManager packageManager = getPackageManager();
        List<PackageInfo> packageList = packageManager.getInstalledPackages(0);
        for (PackageInfo pi : packageList) {
            ApplicationInfo ai = pi.applicationInfo;
            if ((ai.flags & ApplicationInfo.FLAG_SYSTEM) == 1){
                Log.d("APP_NAME", ai.loadLabel(packageManager).toString());
                Log.d("PACKAGE_NAME", pi.packageName);
                Log.d("APP_VERSION", pi.versionName);
            }
        }
