You want the "reachability" API that is discussed here.

Did you follow both links I gave you? The second link (to another question here on StackOverflow) even gives a complete code listing that shows the answer is yes. – Joshua Nozzi Nov 08 '10 at 18:08
Thanks for your answer, I just want to confirm this questions again. Because I am at home now and don't have 3G card to verify. – snail Nov 08 '10 at 18:23

Yes, WWAN and 3G/EDGE are interchangeable. – Evan Mulawski Nov 08 '10 at 18:26
WWAN status comes when you turn on airplane mode. – Kirti Nikam Jun 25 '15 at 12:31

You can use this to distinguish 3G or WIFI network~

//For 3G check
boolean is3g = manager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE)
        .isConnectedOrConnecting();
//For WiFi Check
boolean isWifi = manager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI)
        .isConnectedOrConnecting();
