How to scan available radio stations in Android?

We want to access all the radio frequencies available near Android device. Is there any API available for the same? Can we scan frequency without attaching headphones, given that some radios won't start up without the headphones (used as an aerial)?

Not in standard Android.

Since we have radio inbuilt in the device there must be some API available for scanning the stations

I would venture that less than 1% of Android devices have any sort of "radio" that has "stations". If you happen to have a device that has an AM, FM, shortwave, or similar sort of "radio", you are welcome to contact the manufacturer of that device to see if they have some sort of means to allow you to control it.
