I want to monitor all installed application of android operating system using one application.

What is your definition of monitor?

To know when packages are added refer to this
To know which applications are running in the fg/bg use this
To know what the CPU speed and other stats use adb shell ps. Yes, you can run adb commands from an apk
The ActivityManager class is quite helpful

As far as I know, you can't do that. You can only listen for changes to your contacts using a `ContentObserver` – Reno Nov 23 '11 at 06:55
