       //This intent will help you to launch if the package is already installed  
       Intent LaunchIntent = getPackageManager()  
       .getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.check.application");  
       startActivity(LaunchIntent);  
       Log.i("Application is already installed.");

       // Do whatever we want to do if application not installed  
       // For example, Redirect to play store  
       Log.i("Application is not currently installed.");  
     }  
   }
