Looking back at the Apple trademark list, we find that Handoff is mearely a
meaningless trademark, which is part of the non-trademarked "continuity
umbrella stuff".

Googling for how to get handoff features in Android, there are so many hits
I am not sure where to start.

Here is "how to get continuity and handoff with Android and os/x"
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/303468-how-to-get-continuity-and-handoff-with-android-and-os-x/

Where it says "AirDroid 3 goes way beyond what iPhone and Mac users get."
1 Send and receive individual or group messages
2 Transfer files, photos, music and videos between Android and computer from
any network
3 Play and manage music and videos on Android and transfer them between
Android and computer
4 See through the lens of both front and back cameras 
5 Push URLs to the Android device and have them open with default web
browser
6 Take photos of anyone trying to unlock your device
7 End-to-end encryption

But other apps are suggested in that forum, for example:
http://www.getdialogue.com/
 "Keep your Android/iOS phone in your pocket.
Dialogue brings you handsfree calling through your Mac."

Interestingly, someone on the forum said "Airdroid has had
"Handoff+Confinuity" since forever, way before apple introduced it".

In addition, for Samsung users, there was always SideSync:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.android.sidesync30

And then there's "Flow":
 Samsung Flow takes on Apple's iOS Handoff, Continuity features
  "Easily picking up an app where you left off between phones, tablets and
other devices is what Flow delivers. It's not quite as seamless as similar
features in iOS 8 though."

And PushBullet.
http://www.latinpost.com/articles/39379/20150224/pushbullet-hands-on-review-how-to-get-apple-continuity-features-for-your-android-phone.htm

And MightyText
http://bgr.com/2014/07/31/how-to-use-yosemite-handoff-with-android/

And Baton:
https://www.cnet.com/news/nextbit-unveils-baton-the-ultimate-handoff-between-android-devices/

And get this, most of these are free Android apps that work just fine,
whether it's Windows or Mac.
