Is there any library?

There is no system API to check for email.
Email is handled by an individual app, which can be GMail, K-9 Mail, built-in email app etc.
None of them allow to read emails programmatically, because this would be a huge security hole.
The only two things you can do is to show 'New mail' dialog in Gmail with pre-filled text and address, and force account sync, which should force GMail to check for new mail immediately: Android how to enable/disable auto sync programmatically
