Looking around the web on sending ARP requests from an android app and other than lots of unanswered posts it seems rooting the android device and getting access to the raw sockets is the only way to send an ARP request directly from an application.

It does look like you can read your device's local ARP cache however (/proc/net/arp) without needing to root the device. But I don't think this helps for this purpose.
