It is currently not possible to determine the battery state of the device. You may want to consider why this is. I think it is because an application you may deploy to the device does not need to know this information as it should be left up to the user to determine whether they need to charge their device, given adequate notification of any low battery state. This would then make your application alot simplier as you don’t need to concern yourself with the device’s battery level. Something else to consider is what would you do with the information regarding the battery state, display the battery level, I don’t think so seeing as the status bar already contains a battery indicator. Knowing the battery level, would you then display a notification regarding a low battery state, again this is already covered.
