This request happened awhile ago so it might have been addressed in subsequent releases. While I was training people to use Orbot, one user successfully installed and ran Orbot, but his device a galaxy tab, kept dropping the wifi connection and orbot would stop. He could see orbot was no longer connected when he switched to orbot, but he wanted a more prominent alert to notify him that he was no longer connected to tor.

An app can get status updates from Orbot using a BroadcastReceiver like this:
private BroadcastReceiver torStatusReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (TextUtils.equals(intent.getAction(), OrbotHelper.ACTION_STATUS)) {
String status = intent.getStringExtra(OrbotHelper.EXTRA_STATUS);
torStatusTextView.setText(status);
boolean enabled = status.equals(OrbotHelper.STATUS_ON);
httpProxyButton.setEnabled(enabled);
socksProxyButton.setEnabled(enabled);
}
}
};
