To turn on:

 localAudioManager = (AudioManager) context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
 localAudioManager.setMode(0);
 localAudioManager.setBluetoothScoOn(true);
 localAudioManager.startBluetoothSco();
 localAudioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_IN_CALL);

To turn off:

 localAudioManager = (AudioManager) context.getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
 localAudioManager.setBluetoothScoOn(false);
 localAudioManager.stopBluetoothSco();
 localAudioManager.setMode(AudioManager.MODE_NORMAL);
