After some R&D on bluetooth , got to know that MAC randomization is enabled by default for client mode from Android 8 . So there is no use of getting MAC address to trace / detect person who is having app installed . One way to this is create a unique id and set as bluetooth name and for every near by device scan check for device.getName . Its working for my requirement.

Please correct me if my assumption is wrong . Thanks to ArogyaSetu SourceCode
