One of the key issue is how to know which app is using Wi-Fi. 

To my knowledge, Android uses Wifilock to know which app is using Wi-Fi. Acquiring a wifilock can keep Wi-Fi awake until the lock is released. Making use of this mechanism, Android can know which app is acquiring Wi-Fi. Then, using timer to measure the Wi-Fi running time.
Once we can have network statistic for wifi interface, we can calculate the power consumption for wifi component by using tx/rx packets, connection rate and average power consumption for wifi component.
