This might answer your question .. http://source.android.com/porting/bluetooth.html#androidBluetoothFeatures

SPP (or ability to use Java API's to establish RFCOMM channels) is available from Android (2.0/2.1) release (Eclair) onwards

On the Android phone you will probably need to run an application that initiates the service over SPP. **

public BluetoothServerSocket listenUsingRfcommWithServiceRecord (String name, UUID uuid)

** API can be used to create a service with specified UUID to listen, Doing this should make this service visible to other devices which can then connect to it.
