To be able to connect with the hostapd_cli tool you need to give it the place where to find the socket. Default path to the socket is /var/run/hostapd. On Android 5.1.1 this path is /data/misc/wifi/hostapd

So the command I use is

hostapd_cli -p /data/misc/wifi/hostapd all_sta

The command is:

hostapd_cli  wps_pbc
