Android: get real battery capacity left

I'm wondering, is there any way to find out how much of the aging battery's capacity left compared to its initial capacity? Something like "energy-full" vs "energy-full-design" provided by upower utility from Ubuntu distribution.

Short answer: no

But:

The BatteryManager has a EXTRA_HEALTH property, which maybe give you the information you could use.

BATTERY_HEALTH_COLD 
BATTERY_HEALTH_DEAD 
BATTERY_HEALTH_GOOD 
BATTERY_HEALTH_OVERHEAT 
BATTERY_HEALTH_OVER_VOLTAGE 
BATTERY_HEALTH_UNKNOWN

You can retrieve battery changes by using the following code:

There is also a BatteryManager.EXTRA_HEALTH flag to use. I have never used it personally so I can't tell what that is.
