Audiomanager overrides and routes audio to the latest connected device(either wired headset or bluetooth headset). In android, we do not have any option to override this setting unless it is a system app and route the audio wherever we wish to route. However, you can use reflection apis and override this setting. Audiomanager suspends bluetooth connection route(if already connected)if wired headset is connected and vice versa. You can look at the code here.

Hence using reflection apis you can toggle bluetooth audio route by invoking this method.
