Solution

You can use the PackageManager method href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html#getPackageArchiveInfo%28java.lang.String,%20int%29" rel="noreferrer">getPackageArchiveInfo to retrieve the information from an APK file. Assuming your APK lives in the root of your SD card, you can use this code:

    String apkPath = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath() 
                   + "/MyApp.apk";
    PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();

    PackageInfo info = pm.getPackageArchiveInfo(apkPath, 
                           PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES);
    //Log.i("ActivityInfo", "Package name is " + info.packageName);

    for (android.content.pm.ActivityInfo a : info.activities) {
        Log.i("ActivityInfo", a.name);
    }

There is plenty of additional information you can find in the ActivityInfo and PackageInfo objects.
