I found a solution and it works on android 10

Kotlin

private val serviceListener: ServiceListener = object : ServiceListener {
    var name: String? = null
    var address: String? = null
    var threadName: String? = null
    override fun onServiceDisconnected(profile: Int) {}
    override fun onServiceConnected(profile: Int, proxy: BluetoothProfile) {
        for (device in proxy.connectedDevices) {
            name = device.name
            address = device.address
            threadName = Thread.currentThread().name
            Toast.makeText(
                this@MainActivity,
                "$name $address$threadName",
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
            ).show()
            Log.i(
                "onServiceConnected",
                "|" + device.name + " | " + device.address + " | " + proxy.getConnectionState(
                    device
                ) + "(connected = "
                        + BluetoothProfile.STATE_CONNECTED + ")"
            )
        }
        BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter().closeProfileProxy(profile, proxy)
    }
}

Call this method in main thread

BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter()
            .getProfileProxy(this, serviceListener, BluetoothProfile.HEADSET)

Java

So you get the list of paired devices.

 BluetoothAdapter btAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
    Set<BluetoothDevice> pairedDevicesList = btAdapter.getBondedDevices();


    for (BluetoothDevice pairedDevice : pairedDevicesList) {
    Log.d("BT", "pairedDevice.getName(): " + pairedDevice.getName());
    Log.d("BT", "pairedDevice.getAddress(): " + pairedDevice.getAddress());

    saveValuePreference(getApplicationContext(), pairedDevice.getName(), pairedDevice.getAddress());

}

First you need to retrieve the BluetoothAdapter:

final BluetoothAdapter btAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();

Second you need to make sure Bluetooth is available and turned on :

if (btAdapter != null && btAdapter.isEnabled()) // null means no Bluetooth!

If the Bluetooth is not turned out you can either use btAdapter.enable() which is not recommended in the documentation or ask the user to do it : Programmatically enabling bluetooth on Android

Third you need to define an array of states (to filter out unconnected devices):

final int[] states = new int[] {BluetoothProfile.STATE_CONNECTED, BluetoothProfile.STATE_CONNECTING};

Fourth, you create a BluetoothProfile.ServiceListener which contains two callbacks triggered when a service is connected and disconnected :

final BluetoothProfile.ServiceListener listener = new BluetoothProfile.ServiceListener() {
    @Override
    public void onServiceConnected(int profile, BluetoothProfile proxy) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onServiceDisconnected(int profile) {
    }
};

Now since you have to repeat the querying process for all available Bluetooth Profiles in the Android SDK (A2Dp, GATT, GATT_SERVER, Handset, Health, SAP) you should proceed as follow :

In onServiceConnected, place a condition that check what is the current profile so that we add the found devices into the correct collection and we use : proxy.getDevicesMatchingConnectionStates(states) to filter out unconnected devices:

switch (profile) {
    case BluetoothProfile.A2DP:
        ad2dpDevices.addAll(proxy.getDevicesMatchingConnectionStates(states));
        break;
    case BluetoothProfile.GATT: // NOTE ! Requires SDK 18 !
        gattDevices.addAll(proxy.getDevicesMatchingConnectionStates(states));
        break;
    case BluetoothProfile.GATT_SERVER: // NOTE ! Requires SDK 18 !
        gattServerDevices.addAll(proxy.getDevicesMatchingConnectionStates(states));
        break;
    case BluetoothProfile.HEADSET: 
        headsetDevices.addAll(proxy.getDevicesMatchingConnectionStates(states));
        break;
    case BluetoothProfile.HEALTH: // NOTE ! Requires SDK 14 !
        healthDevices.addAll(proxy.getDevicesMatchingConnectionStates(states));
        break;
    case BluetoothProfile.SAP: // NOTE ! Requires SDK 23 !
        sapDevices.addAll(proxy.getDevicesMatchingConnectionStates(states));
        break;
}

And finally, the last thing to do is start the querying process :

btAdapter.getProfileProxy(yourContext, listener, BluetoothProfile.A2DP);
btAdapter.getProfileProxy(yourContext, listener, BluetoothProfile.GATT); // NOTE ! Requires SDK 18 !
btAdapter.getProfileProxy(yourContext, listener, BluetoothProfile.GATT_SERVER); // NOTE ! Requires SDK 18 !
btAdapter.getProfileProxy(yourContext, listener, BluetoothProfile.HEADSET);
btAdapter.getProfileProxy(yourContext, listener, BluetoothProfile.HEALTH); // NOTE ! Requires SDK 14 !
btAdapter.getProfileProxy(yourContext, listener, BluetoothProfile.SAP); // NOTE ! Requires SDK 23 !

Well here are the steps:

First, you start intent to discover devices

IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND);
Register a broadcast reciver for it:

registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);

On the definition of mReceiver:

private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    String action = intent.getAction();
    // When discovery finds a device
    if (BluetoothDevice.ACTION_FOUND.equals(action)) {
        // Get the BluetoothDevice object from the Intent
        BluetoothDevice device = intent.getParcelableExtra(BluetoothDevice.EXTRA_DEVICE);
        // Add the name and address to an array adapter to show in a ListView
        arrayadapter.add(device.getName())//arrayadapter is of type ArrayAdapter<String>
        lv.setAdapter(arrayadapter); //lv is the list view 
        arrayadapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    }
}

and the list will be automatically populated on new device discovery.

public void checkConnected()
{
  // true == headset connected && connected headset is support hands free
  int state = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter().getProfileConnectionState(BluetoothProfile.HEADSET);
  if (state != BluetoothProfile.STATE_CONNECTED)
    return;

  try
  {
    BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter().getProfileProxy(_context, serviceListener, BluetoothProfile.HEADSET);
  }
  catch (Exception e)
  {
    e.printStackTrace();
  }
}

private ServiceListener serviceListener = new ServiceListener()
{
  @Override
  public void onServiceDisconnected(int profile)
  {

  }

  @Override
  public void onServiceConnected(int profile, BluetoothProfile proxy)
  {
    for (BluetoothDevice device : proxy.getConnectedDevices())
    {
      Log.i("onServiceConnected", "|" + device.getName() + " | " + device.getAddress() + " | " + proxy.getConnectionState(device) + "(connected = "
          + BluetoothProfile.STATE_CONNECTED + ")");
    }

    BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter().closeProfileProxy(profile, proxy);
  }
};

As of API 14 (Ice Cream), Android has a some new BluetoothAdapter methods including:

public int getProfileConnectionState (int profile)

where profile is one of HEALTH, HEADSET, A2DP

Check response, if it's not STATE_DISCONNECTED you know you have a live connection.

Here is code example that will work on any API device:

BluetoothAdapter mAdapter;

/**
 * Check if a headset type device is currently connected. 
 * 
 * Always returns false prior to API 14
 * 
 * @return true if connected
 */
public boolean isVoiceConnected() {
    boolean retval = false;
    try {
        Method method = mAdapter.getClass().getMethod("getProfileConnectionState", int.class);
        // retval = mAdapter.getProfileConnectionState(android.bluetooth.BluetoothProfile.HEADSET) != android.bluetooth.BluetoothProfile.STATE_DISCONNECTED;
        retval = (Integer)method.invoke(mAdapter, 1) != 0;
    } catch (Exception exc) {
        // nothing to do
    }
    return retval;
}

Please analyze this class online.

Here you will find how to discover all connected (paired) Bluetooth devices.

Android system doesn't let you query for all "currently" connected devices. It however, you can query for paired devices. You will need to use a broadcast receiver to listen to ACTION_ACL_{CONNECTED|DISCONNECTED} events along with STATE_BONDED event to update your application states to track what's currently connected.
