sniffing bluetooth low energy in Android

I wanted to test my microchip beacon setup.. Is there any way to verify the advertisements sent by the beacon are received by Android without writing an application.

I have seen stackoverflow post related to sniffing where you have to enable bluetooth sniffing in Developer options

Sniffing/logging your own Android Bluetooth traffic

Will this apply to Bluetooth Low Energy Module also or is it only for Bluetooth Classic Devices

Yes it will pick up everything on the HCI link, including BLE advertisements. But you must have at least one app that has told the system to perform a BLE scan of course.

Why don't you just use a BLE scan app like nRF Connect?

There are lots of BLE sniffer apps in the Android marketplace that will pickup and display your beacon advertisement. Search for "ble sniffer"
