One other potential option would be to make a call to a remote endpoint such as a webserver, determine the external IP address, then lookup to see if that IP address is in a range of known cellular carrier subnets. This is probably the highest accuracy solution I can think of, but of course requires much more infrastructure to work.

You can use ConnectivityManagerCompat.isActiveNetworkMetered(), from the support library. Check this answer for more information.

It will return true both for mobile data connections and wifi networks that correspond to mobile APs.
