Android L - fixing Service Intent must be explicit, with multiple results/packages

gistfile1.txt

    /***
     * Android L (lollipop, API 21) introduced a new problem when trying to invoke implicit intent,
     * "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Service Intent must be explicit"
     *
     * The function given here works for a single application package with the same intent filter. 
     * https://gist.github.com/SeanZoR/068f19545e51e4627749
     * 
     * I had a scenario in which there was a free version and a paid version of the same app installed, this function returns null in that case. 
     * So I decided to fix it and here is the working solution which matches the application package and then returns the correct intent.
     * 
     * @param context
     * @param implicitIntent - The original implicit intent
     * @return Explicit Intent created from the implicit original intent
     */
