Splitting the 3.5mm jack with microphone and speaker output - possible?

Hi All,
I was wondering if the below scenario is possible with any android phone.
- Plug a 3.5mm splitter into the audio jack (two female ends)
- Plug a speaker system (headphones, whatever) into one split port
- Plug a microphone into the other split port
Would the phone play audio (music, etc) through the headphones normally? If someone were to call, would the voice on the other end play through the headphones and the microphone work for me to talk to them through?
Thanks!
EDIT: Since the response has been overwhelming I went and tried the method above. Works perfectly. Thanks to... me *self high five*.

[Q] Android L USB Audio & Mic Support

With Android L featuring native USB Audio out is it safe to assume that all USB DACs will be compatible with all devices? It almost seems too good to be true
Also with upcoming USB Audio out can you have a hardware 3.5mm microphone-only (without speaker) plugged into the AUX/headphone port, and still output sound through USB? The way it behaves now when you plug in a microphone it assumes it's a headphone/mic combo and outputs sound thru the AUX port. I'd like to take the mic for input but still output sound through USB.
Thanks in advance.

is anyone able to answer this?

GROM USB Audio out works with my Verizon Note 4. Kinda.

So I just purchased a GROM Audio Honda Acura 03+ USB Android iPod Bluetooth AUX adapter( SKU: HON1U3 )
http://www.gromaudio.com/store/usb_...uetooth_adapter_direct_digital_interface.html
With both the Bluetooth and USB AUX adapter it came to a pricey $229.96. What I got for that price is:
Bluetooth media and headphone profiles
USB out via AALinQ Car Music Player
OK Google Hotword still works
Con's:
You have to load your media into the AALinQ application to get it to play via USB, that means no Google Play music over USB, and all system sounds aren't automatically sent to the USB audio like with the Note 3 and previous Galaxy devices.
You don't get track titles etc via Bluetooth at least with my Note 4 on my '08 Acura MDX and the GROM connected to my XM 2 Sat input on the stock head unit.
I'm getting a weird slight crackle when audio stops and starts playing via Bluetooth, I think this is because the Grom adapter is connecting and disconnecting USB audio to the head unit, I got the same crackle when connecting my MHL USB audio connector when the car head unit was on.
Pro's:
The nice thing is that unlike a dedicated MHL USB connector which is the other way to get USB audio out on the Note 4 you aren't blocking your microphone while connected
You are charging. which I hadn't got working with USB to MHL.
Just thought this might be useful to those of us who don't have A2DP built into our car stereo's. GROM is compatible with hundreds and hundreds of vehicles, just use the Browse by auto make selector at http://www.gromaudio.com/index.html
I don't work for GROM, I paid for my unit myself, wanted to share what worked for me in case it helps one of you.

Oh and according to their FAQ the charge you're getting is 1A 5V http://www.gromaudio.com/support/usb-faq.html

So is there a way to have audio simultaneously on Bluetooth and Stereo plug ?

Hi all.
So I want to have audio output to both, simultaneously, to a remote Bluetooth-receiver (which is on the other side of my bedroom's wall) and to a stereo 3.5mm connection next to my phone.
Right now, I can have audio to one, but not both (Bluetooh, OR, 3.5mm).
After much searching, I am 50% happy using the app Turbo Alarm because it can play audio simultanously to my Bluetooth receiver and the phone's loud Speaker, but NOT to the phone's 3.5mm plug (silent).
Any thing you know that can do the trick ?
Thank you all.
My phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 (d2att), CM14.1 Oct-N Weekly 2017-06-02, TWRP.

The hardware in your device is designed to only output audio one way or the other, not two or three. It's a limitation built into the hardware, you aren't gonna change it.
There is, however, a solution to your problem, it involves external hardware.
You will need a 3.5mm Y cable and a Bluetooth audio transmitter, plug the cable in your 3.5mm audio jack, connect whatever device you were gonna run via audio jack to one side of the Y cable, connect the Bluetooth audio transmitter to the other side of the Y cable.
This will allow playing audio to both but it won't allow them to listen to different media, they will hear both receive the same audio.
If you want the listening devices to be able to play different audio independently, then you'll have to consider other hardware such as wireless flash drive, it can stream audio to up to 8 devices and stream video to 3 devices, each of them watching or listening to different things independently of each other.
