This is actually possible with SDK V 14. As the documents state:
- Create a broadcast receiver for Wi-Fi Direct Intents
- Set up permissions
- Set up the receiver in onCreate()
- Set up an intent filter
- Register the receiver in onResume()
I've included some of the key code constructs below to make this happen. But read the documentation for more information.
Here's a sample Broadcast Receiver
public class WiFiDirectBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private WifiP2pManager manager;
private Channel channel;
private MyWiFiActivity activity;
public WiFiDirectBroadcastReceiver(WifiP2pManager manager, Channel channel,
MyWifiActivity activity) {
super();
this.manager = manager;
this.channel = channel;
this.activity = activity;
}
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if (WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION.equals(action)) {
int state = intent.getIntExtra(WifiP2pManager.EXTRA_WIFI_STATE, -1);
if (state == WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_STATE_ENABLED) {
// Wifi Direct is enabled
} else {
// Wi-Fi Direct is not enabled
}
} else if (WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_PEERS_CHANGED_ACTION.equals(action)) {
// Call WifiP2pManager.requestPeers() to get a list of current peers
} else if (WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_CONNECTION_CHANGED_ACTION.equals(action)) {
// Respond to new connection or disconnections
} else if (WifiP2pManager.WIFI_P2P_THIS_DEVICE_CHANGED_ACTION.equals(action)) {
// Respond to this device's wifi state changing
}
}
}
Permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" />
