is Multicast programming possible in android 4.0.3?

Question

I'm developing an Android application which can communicate to the java server using multicast socket. I've developed same application successfully in java only, but i am getting problem when I'm using the same code in android. I found a code on Google thread reporting that android doesn't support multicastSocket. Please tell me how can we apply multicasting in android ? Is Multicast programming possible in android ? Please provide some useful links..
