I am a beginner in Android and I am working to develop an application that requires internet connection. but I can't find any API function to detecting changes on internet connection as shown in the following pictures

Device connected to a network and Internet is not available

Device connected to a network and Internet is available

I have tried the following code but it is not what I want

public static boolean checkInternetConenction(Context context) {
    ConnectivityManager
            cm = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
    NetworkInfo activeNetwork = cm.getActiveNetworkInfo();
    return activeNetwork != null
            && activeNetwork.isConnectedOrConnecting();
}

The previous code only returns if the device is connected to a network or not.

Mr e

I expected this answer, but is there a way to catch this event from the system without trying connecting to a server? I mean by the system – Mr e Jan 19 '20 at 06:39
No, System doesn't provide anything to detect that. Thanks – Md. Asaduzzaman Jan 19 '20 at 06:40
