Duplicate packages returned when calling getApps() #3

Thanks for developing this great package!

It seems that getApps() can currently return some duplicates. I called said function in an app running on emulator of Android Studio and got entries with labels Google and Voice Search with the same package name com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.

Now, I don't know if this is intentional feature and I don't have time to look into this deeper now, but someone suggested using getInstalledApplications instead of queryIntentActivities here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/17238992. Maybe you know better what is happening here and if having duplicate list items is even possible with third party apps, as com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox is Google's own package.
