If you're using wpa_supplicant (most linux distros and probably android), you can automatically randomise the MAC address, even before association, using
set mac_addr 1
set preassoc_mac_addr 1
set gas_rand_mac_addr 1
On a home network you may want to disable this to avoid emptying the DHCP address pool. I do this using a dhcpcd run hook that check the network SSID against a whitelist.
