Does an Android package availability checking service exist?

I am new to developing android and I would like to confirm that the package name that I have picked does not conflict with any existing packages on the play store or other major apk markets.
Does such a service or website exist?!
Ideally I am expecting a website that functions similar to Gmail's email ID checking system.

In other words how to check whether a package name that I have picked is available?

Note:

  • I do not yet have a Google play publisher account

If you follow the recommendations, and choose a package name based off of your domain name, you should not run into any conflicts.

To check whether your package name is in use on the Play Store, use the Play Store, with a URL of https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=your.package.name.goes.here.

You will need to contact the other "major apk markets" to see if they offer a similar facility. Bear in mind that asking on StackOverflow for off-site resources like this is off-topic.

Since a search for "email ID checking system" gmail on a major search engine turns up zero matches, I do not know what you mean by "Gmail's email ID checking system".
