Android : How to check if Samsung Gear 2 is paired with Android device programmatically?

I am using Tizen SDK for Wearable from samsung-gear site in order to communicate a provider android application with Samsung Gear 2 device. I am able to send notifications to gear and once I run the consumer application on gear 2, I am able to transfer data between the watch and my Android phone as well.

What I am trying to do is to check within the Android application if the phone is paired with Gear 2. Something as simple as creating a communication object using the accessory service and calling a method like isPaired()?:

CommunicationObject commObject = new CommunicationObject(Communication parameters);

// I am assuming some connection call like commObject.connect() should be invoked first
// where I can check for it's result afterwards such as

if(commObject.isPaired())
{
  // do something
}

I think SDK examples such as comsumer/provider application they provide on their site already assume that the device is paired, hence they show how to transfer data between phone and the gear watch. Yet I am seeking something as simple as asking the phone if it's paired with a gear device, which should be the prerequisite for transferring the data, which is done automatically by Samsung Gear Manager I believe right now.

Note: For the case of example provider/consumer applications, one can just check if any connection is available using the code in them. But the data transfer connection enabled only when I manually start the consumer app from the gear device, otherwise it acts like gear device is not paired even though it is.
