Does BluetoothLeAdvertiser work on a Nexus 5 with Android 5.0?

by

Unfortunately, the official answer from Google is no, the Nexus 5 no longer supports advertising.

We introduced BLE peripheral mode in Android 5.0 Lollipop. Nexus 6 and
Nexus 9 are the first two production Nexus devices that support BLE
peripheral mode. Due to hardware chipset dependency, older Nexus
devices (4/5/7) will not have access to the feature on Lollipop.

That said, I have confirmed that advertising is supported by the Nexus 9 tablet. See here for details: http://developer.radiusnetworks.com/2014/11/18/beacon-transmission-with-android-5.html
