Does Android have a similar method to the iPhone AVAudioPlayer's averagePowerForChannel?
I want to get an average reading of the amplitude of as a value.

A:
I don't think there is a built-in function but you can calculate it yourself.
To do this, calculate the root-mean-square average of continuous samples.
rms = sqrt((sample0^2 + sample1^2 + sample2^2 + sample3^2) / numberOfSamples)
The following links should be helpful to you as they contain the full source code to two excellent Android sound related projects.
