Is it possible to find whether my device is pointing towards the sky or ahead by the way the user holds it?
I couldn’t find anything in the documentation by which I can know whether this is possible or not.
Thanks.

Yep, it’s possible. What you’re looking for is “orientation sensing.” I found what looks like a good introduction to using orientation sensing here.
Also, here’s the Android documentation.
