Sounds intriguing. If you want to do the wifi service discovery on < android-16, there is jmdns. We had problems with the Android service discovery stuff when we added it to FDroid. It would randomly hang and things like that. jmdns seemed more reliable, but perhaps the Android SD stuff is somehow integrated into WiFi-Direct in a way that jmdns is not.
