for now, the answer is no. And I am talking about the newest bluetooth low energy technology. Since android 4.3, you can now turn your android device into a central, listening to other peripherals's advertisement. However as of today, android 4.4.2, google still haven't realised any public api which allows you to turn android into a peripheral(like a broadcaster). So you can't advertise or send data. Although I did see a page saying you can do it privately, I haven't tried it yet. http://blog.cozybit.com/enabling-peripheral-mode-in-android-kitkat-4-4/

On the iOS side, in iOS7, apple added new apis and now you can turn your iPhone into either a peripheral or central(not at the same time). So it is ok for inter-iOS exchanges, while android can only listen and receive data from iOS. You can try searching iKardz on the App Store and see how it's done on 2 iOS devices. http://www.ikardz.me

However, the story didn't end here. Due to some bugs in google bluetooth apis, you can't actually connect to any smart devices for now, for details please see this link. Communicating between iOS and Android with Bluetooth LE SO for the record, this limit DID NOT come from apple.
