I found a great way to check if the device is charging, or not. Here is the code of the receiver class:

public class PowerConnectionReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    public PowerConnectionReceiver() {
    }

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED)) {
            Toast.makeText(context, "The device is charging", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        } else {
            intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED);
            Toast.makeText(context, "The device is not charging", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }


}

Registering it on onResume:

receiver = new PowerConnectionReceiver();

    IntentFilter ifilter = new IntentFilter();
    ifilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_POWER_CONNECTED);
    ifilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_POWER_DISCONNECTED);
    registerReceiver(receiver, ifilter);

Unregistered on onPause:

        unregisterReceiver(receiver);

Works fine!
