Get current ListPreference label from MainActivity

Question

As explained here: Get Key, not value, of the ListPreference selection - Possible? and many other places, it is quite easy to access ListPreferences labels from PreferenceActivity.

What I need to do is to read the label corresponding to the current selected from the main activity. But I can't find a way.

For example, in my main activity I have

SharedPreferences settings = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(this);

I would like to use something like:

ListPreference listPreference = (ListPreference) settings.findPreference("list_of_countries");

And then handle it to get current value and label.

Update 01

I tried to handle another way to retrieve the summary (the name of a country in my example) value which I need to say the customer what he selected. I can't give him the code!

private static Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener sBindPreferenceSummaryToValueListener = new Preference.OnPreferenceChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onPreferenceChange(Preference preference, Object value) {
        String stringValue = value.toString();
        String stringSummary = preference.getSummary().toString();
        String stringKey = preference.getKey().toString();
        if (stringKey.equals("list_of_countries")){
            MyActivity.countryName = stringSummary;
        }

Nothing to do... the OnPreferenceChangeListener is called.... BEFORE the preference change, i.e., when one item is clicked, so what I succeed to retrieve is just the past summary. I found no way.
