Like in Blackberry, do we have any API method (similar to DeviceInfo.isSimulator()) to check if device is simulator or real device?

There isn't a 100% correct way to do this since the internal constants seem to change every once in a while. This works for me though:

if (android.os.Build.MODEL.contains("google_sdk") ||
    android.os.Build.MODEL.contains("Emulator")) {
    // Then you are running the app on the emulator.
}
