Getting bit rate or bit depth of an audio wav file

I am using AudioTrack to play a .wav audio file. Everything is fine but I for now I have hard coded the bit depth of the audio file while initializing the AudioTrack object in STATIC_MODE.

mAudioTrack = new AudioTrack(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC, mSampleRate, mChannels,
            AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT, dataSize, AudioTrack.MODE_STATIC);

I want to get the bit-depth/bitrate of the .wav file programmatically and then set the encoding in the AudioTrack object. I have tried to use MediaExtractor and MediaFormat but it gives me only the following information:

mediaFormat:{mime=audio/raw, durationUs=10080000, channel-count=1, channel-mask=0, sample-rate=16000}

In the documentation of MediaFormat, it says that KEY_BIT_RATE is encoder-only. Does that mean that I can only use this option while encoding raw PCM bits. If yes, what can be any other way to read the bitrate/bit-depth programmatically? I have already tried getting the information for the same file on the terminal using the mediainfo binary and it gives me the correct bit depth.

You could always look at the 34th and 35th bytes of the wav file's header. See this resource.

        int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
        int bitDepth;
        if (currentapiVersion >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.N){
            bitDepth = format.getInteger("pcm-encoding");
        } else{
            bitDepth = format.getInteger("bit-width");

and the format above android 7.0 like 

 mime: string(audio/raw), channel-count: int32(2), sample-rate: int32(48000), pcm-encoding: int32(2)}

below android 7.0 like

mime: string(audio/raw), channel-count: int32(2), sample-rate: int32(48000), bit-width: int32(16), what: int32(1869968451)}

    MediaExtractor mediaExtractor = new MediaExtractor();
    try {
        mediaExtractor.setDataSource(path);
        return mediaExtractor.getTrackFormat(0).getInteger("bit-per-sample");
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
