Status of multicast on Android devices as on 2015

Multicast support on Android is Version specific ? Most of new age devices will come with 4.3 & above. So MulticastSocket API work on 4.3 & above ? Is multicast support is device/OEM specific ?

Wanted to know exact status whether Multicast on Android is supported as on May15 ?
