Use this code snippet 

AudioManager am1 = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
Log.i("am1.isWiredHeadsetOn()", am1.isWiredHeadsetOn()+"");
Log.i("am1.isMusicActive()", am1.isMusicActive()+"");
Log.i("am1.isSpeakerphoneOn()", am1.isSpeakerphoneOn()+"");

This seems to do the job at least on 1.6; not sure whether it's supported in later versions (a is an instance of AudioManager)

boolean headphones = (a.getRouting(a.getMode()) & AudioManager.ROUTE_HEADSET) == AudioManager.ROUTE_HEADSET;

It looks like you'll be interested in the isWiredHeadsetOn() method and isBluetoothA2dpOn() method of the AudioManager class.

However, the isWiredHeadsetOn() method is only available in Android 2.0 or later. (The isBluetoothA2dpOn() method has been available since Android 1.5.)
