    I don't think is posible since the OS API's where introduced in 4.3? Maybe you can provide a fallback for devices that doesn't support it – Carlos487 Jan 13 '14 at 13:21

    you have to ask yourself if those devices (with 4.0-4.2) have BLE hardware support ... then even if they have ... only way is to upgrade OS version ... – Selvin Jan 13 '14 at 13:23

    Good luck with that! Who made up this magical requirement? Who will retrofit the hardware? – Dave Newton Jan 14 '14 at 04:11

This is possible on specific devices, with very heavy fragmentation.

See:

There may be more for other vendors...

I would advise sticking with Android 4.3 as much as possible, using the specific SDKs below 4.3 is a mess.
