* Any certified device with built-in support should have the antradio-library installed in the firmware: you can check for this withArrays.asList(packageManager.getSystemSharedLibraryNames()).contains(com.dsi.ant.antradio_library)
In the end, if you can install it, or if it is already installed I think the easiest approach is to use the ANT Radio Service to query for adapters or channels and watch for 'adapters not available' result.
