You have to register a reciever and get the info from the received intent.

Thanks for reply. I have registered broadcast and am able to get every property. but **BatteryManager.BATTERY_PROPERTY_CAPACITY** this property is added above to 21 api .and i am using below code `if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=21){ int capacityValue=new BatteryManager().getIntProperty(BatteryManager.BATTERY_PROPERTY_CAPACITY); capacity.setText(String.valueOf(capacityValue)); batteryInformation.setCapacity(String.valueOf(capacityValue)); }else{ findViewById(R.id.capacity_layout).setVisibility(View.GONE); }` – Android dev Jul 07 '16 at 07:26
