Capturing Airtags beacons and messages.
The beacons should just use BLE. For Android there's an app that lets you detect beacons tracking you. You can check out the source code to see how they parse the packets https://github.com/seemoo-lab/AirGuard

Using Google Maps history to see if my boyfriend and I could have met earlier
Airguard kind of does this: https://github.com/seemoo-lab/AirGuard
It'll scan for bluetooth trackers in the background (and airpods and iphones) and can give you a per-device history.

AirTag leads to arrest of airline worker who stole $15,000 of items from luggage
AirGuard is still detecting AirTags and iPhones for me, and it works in the background without needing manual activation.
A previous version of AirGuard had a bug that interfered with detection, but that issue was fixed in version 1.3.4 (released in May):
Apple's Tracker Detect app does not automatically scan for AirTags. Users must open the app and manually initiate each scan, then wait at least 10 minutes after detecting an AirTag before causing it to make a noise.
A much better alternative is the free and open source AirGuard app developed by the Technical University of Darmstadt. It automatically scans for AirTags, Tiles, and other Bluetooth tracking devices in the background. When AirGuard detects an AirTag, the user can cause it to make a sound immediately without having to wait.

My friend found an Apple Air tag on her car. Genuinely scary.

It's local, so if you have BT on, that's probably gonna cost more battery already
You could try AirGuard. It scans automatically in the background (if you let it) and is available in the official Google play store as well as F-Droid according to their Github.
