applications - Get common name of an app given its package name


I'm interested in a way to go from the package name (e.g. com.android.providers.telephony) to its common name (Phone).


I'd like to know if there's ADB/shell command (from the phone), or any system/preinstalled app.


I know that a bunch of apps reveal both once you could pin the app in it. – In Android 4.x (tried with 4.2.2) you can even use the system app manager to confirm the package name once you found and selected the app via the common name.
