As far as i know, it is not possible to intercept the network on an ICMP Level to catch this event.

Maybee it would be possible with a rooted phone .. but i think chances low to do so.

do you recommend it will be easier if i created log files and to store like when someone is connecting to the device and then the user will be able to see the log???

i don't think that you will be able to see any ICMP trafic on an unrooted phone. So what do you want to write to a log file?

Native ping is operating based on ICMP (Internet Core Message Protocol) and as far as i know there is no programming API which will give you access to this protocol level.
