Android Bluetooth Low Energy

I need to get bluetooth low energy advertisement out from my android phone. I realize that android only supports the central or observer mode for now. Is there any other Bluetooth stack that I could use in order to advertise packets? What are the options that I have currently?

Android has officially introduced it in Android 5.0. If you want to use it in previous version, you can use AltBeacon Library. It make BLE things much simpler than Android library. https://altbeacon.org/
