Use this code to Broadcast Wifi or GPRS availability 

BroadcastReceiver br;
br = new BroadcastReceiver() {

 @Override
public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent intent) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub  
        String action = intent.getAction();
        if (!action.equals(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION))
           {
              return;
           }
  boolean noConnectivity = intent.getBooleanExtra(ConnectivityManager.EXTRA_NO_CONNECTIVITY, false); 
  NetworkInfo aNetworkInfo = (NetworkInfo) intent.getParcelableExtra(ConnectivityManager.EXTRA_NETWORK_INFO);                            

      if (!noConnectivity)
         {
          if (aNetworkInfo.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE) 
               {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Mobile Connected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                      //Handle connected case
               }
         if (aNetworkInfo.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI)
               {
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "WIFI Connected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
               }    
          }

       else
         {
              if ((aNetworkInfo.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE) ||
                            (aNetworkInfo.getType() == ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI))
                    {
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Not Connected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }
         }              
     }
};

Provide following Permissions in androidmanifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

And don't forget to register and unregister BroadcastReceiver.
