Android running Wifi Lan and Wifi Direct simultaneously

I'm building android app. I was wondering if it was possible for a device to maintain a connection to a a WiFi lan access point and to another device using WiFi direct at the same time? I was told that this was not possible in passing but can't find any information anywhere that would agree with this statement. I can find articles about setting up Wifi Direct networks but not on lan and direct. Any help would be highly appreciated.

I have tested on a samsung galaxy s3 and it allows both, while the moto G that I tested on was not able to.
