How to get wpa2-psk key out of the wpa_supplicant daemon?

I have an Android device using Wi-Fi Direct WPS-pbc method to connect to an other group owner (AP). My AP is using each session the same wpa2-psk key, negotiated by the WPS setup. I want to have that key to decrypt the traffic in Wireshark. The packets are sniffed with Kismet. Is there a way to get that key out of the wpa_supplicant daemon on Android? I have access to the Android device, but not to the AP.

Try looking in to the configuration file where wpa_supplicant stores each network connection. In Android it is generally /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
