The below method will work but, this is detecting the version 4.0 and above; it is not able to find the devices with version 2.2 or 2.3 which is connected with hotspot.

public void getClientList() {
int macCount = 0;
BufferedReader br = null;
try {
    br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/proc/net/arp"));
    String line;
    while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
        String[] splitted = line.split(" +");
        if (splitted != null ) {
            // Basic sanity check
            String mac = splitted[3];
            System.out.println("Mac : Outside If "+ mac );
            if (mac.matches("..:..:..:..:..:..")) {
                macCount++;
               /* ClientList.add("Client(" + macCount + ")");
                IpAddr.add(splitted[0]);
                HWAddr.add(splitted[3]);
                Device.add(splitted[5]);*/
                System.out.println("Mac : "+ mac + " IP Address : "+splitted[0] );
                System.out.println("Mac_Count  " + macCount + " MAC_ADDRESS  "+ mac);
            Toast.makeText(
                    getApplicationContext(),
                    "Mac_Count  " + macCount + "   MAC_ADDRESS  "
                            + mac, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

            }
           /* for (int i = 0; i < splitted.length; i++)
                System.out.println("Addressssssss     "+ splitted[i]);*/

        }
    }
} catch(Exception e) {

}               
}
