You can get the name of the app that installed your app using:
If it matches the Google Play package name, then it was installed through Google Play.

Interesting topic.. I was just reading about DexGuard, which is about $450 USD I think.. seems worth it to me if it works well and you're making money on your apps.Question though.. is there a way to know if someone bought the app (downloaded through a store it was published to) or just installed? If I wanted to put some data on the server side, so that only registered/paid apps could access it.. how could I ensure the app is a legit buy?

Release 2 identical apps, 1 w/ DRM, 1 w/out.
Use entirely different names.
You will find that you will sell multiple times more copies of the unprotected app.
Going back to 1981, our computer club would share apple basic programs amongst ourselves, the "pirates".
Without exception, the programs we found useful we bought after trying them out as a pirate.
Mostly this was a social experience, not an opportunity to steal.
Spend a little time working on easter eggs instead of copy protection.
New copy protection is like screwing a new tail onto a cow. The smart flies will chew your hide where the new tail won't reach.
