@umair's answer is correct but ActivityRecognitionApi interface was deprecated and you should use ActivityRecognitionClient for your apps and update your existing app if you are using old ActivityRecognitionApi

You can achieve this by Google's ActivityRecognitionApi API. It tells you about user's current activity, such as walking, driving, or standing still.

You can check out sample code here: ActivityRecognition

The Activity Recognition API is built on top of the sensors available in a device. Device sensors provide insights into what users are currently doing. However, with dozens of signals from multiple sensors and slight variations in how people do things, detecting what users are doing is not easy.

The Activity Recognition API automatically detects activities by periodically reading short bursts of sensor data and processing them using machine learning models.
