List of Android apps that connect to the Internet

I want to implement a list showing Android applications using them on the Internet. First of all, I have to list all the applications, I did this with the PackageManager, for example:

  packageManager = getPackageManager();
    List<PackageInfo> packageList = packageManager
            .getInstalledPackages(PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);

apkList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.applist);
    apkList.setAdapter(new ApkAdapter(this, packageList, packageManager));

But this code lists all system applications, as well as: Android Sytem, ​​Calculator, Calender, Status Bar, Live Wallpapers, etc., which are not suitable. I tried filtering system applications using:

 /*To filter out System apps*/
    for(PackageInfo pi : packageList) {
        boolean b = isSystemPackage(pi);
        if(!b) {
            packageList1.add(pi);
        }
    }

But then the code only displays installed applications, such as whatsapp, tango, foursquare, etc. It does not show applications such as gmail, facebook, browser, maps. Can anyone suggest how I write code that only displays a list of applications that actually use the Internet. Thanks in advance!

List<Application> collection = new ArrayList<Application>();

PackageManager pm = getActivity().getPackageManager();
