title: Check if a VPN connection is active in Android?
body: <p>I have a third party VPN app on my non-rooted Android 4.4 device, and want to write a background service to monitor the VPN connection and alert the user if the VPN connection has been broken.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do this?  I couldn't find any way using the VPNService API.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks -D</p>
