I have two methods to detect WIFI connection receiving the application context:

1)my old method

public boolean isConnectedWifi1(Context context) {
    try {
        ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
        NetworkInfo networkInfo = connectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo();           
        if (networkInfo != null) {
            NetworkInfo[] netInfo = connectivityManager.getAllNetworkInfo();
            for (NetworkInfo ni : netInfo) {
                if ((ni.getTypeName().equalsIgnoreCase("WIFI"))
                        && ni.isConnected()) {
                    return true;
                }                   
            }
        }
        return false;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e(TAG, e.getMessage());
    }
    return false;
}

2)my New method (I´m currently using this method):

public boolean isConnectedWifi(Context context) {
         ConnectivityManager connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
         NetworkInfo networkInfo = connectivityManager.getNetworkInfo(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI);     
         return networkInfo.isConnected();
}
