Unfortunately, until Android OS includes at least one service that requires bluetooth peripheral mode to be enabled, Android devices will probably not advertise without an application running in the background. In short, as I understand it, Android/Google has been slow to adopt BTLE peripheral mode as an option in addition to the default central mode. [Here is a decently comprehensive list of phones that support peripheral mode](https://altbeacon.github.io/android-beacon-library/beacon-transmitter-devices.html), should an application choose to leverage the appropriate API. It does not appear as though the native OS has an option (outside of the file sharing option mentioned above on LG phones) to enable this mode.
