Is there a way to increase BLE advertisement frequency in Android?
I have an Android device broadcasting a BLE advertisement using the following commands of AltBeacon library:
ADVERTISE_MODE_LOW_LATENCY approx 1 Hz
ADVERTISE_MODE_BALANCED approx 3 Hz
ADVERTISE_MODE_LOW_POWER approx 10 Hz
I would like to increase this frequency more than 10 times per second. Is there a way to increase advertising frequency in Android? Or it is unchangeable?

100ms is the highest frequency you can broadcast with. That is also usually the maximum common devices allow you to set.

You can reach it with stopping and starting advertisement with code like this:
while (true) {
beaconTransmitter.stopAdvertising()
beaconTransmitter.startAdvertising(beacon, object : AdvertiseCallback() }

The different options you have shown that work with the Android Beacon Library's BeaconTransmitter class are built-in to Android. Unfortunately there are no other higher frequencies of transmission offered by Android APIs.
However, on many newer devices you may start more than one advertiser at a time. If you have a device like this (Pixel, Nexus, Galaxy, Nokia) you can simply start more than one BeaconTransmitter instance at a time, each set to advertise 10Hz. If you start 10, you effectively get advertising at 100Hz.
