Is there a some possibility to get current Audio/Video output mode on Android(like HDMI,SPDIF etc) using Android SDK?

Starting with API level 16 (Jellybean) there's the MediaRouter API which allows you to get some information about the current audio/video routing.
To get routing info you'd use the getSelectedRoute method, with the ROUTE_TYPE_LIVE_AUDIO or ROUTE_TYPE_LIVE_VIDEO flag. This gives you a RouteInfo object, through which you can get the name of the route using the getName method.

For example:

MediaRouter mr = (MediaRouter)getSystemService(Context.MEDIA_ROUTER_SERVICE);
RouteInfo ri = mr.getSelectedRoute(MediaRouter.ROUTE_TYPE_LIVE_AUDIO);
if ("HDMI".equals(ri.getName().toString()) {
    // do something...
}
