I see it as a warning throughout the code base I work on. :-(

I use ADT as well, and IIRC there are certain kinds of unreachable code that won't compile:

  public int foo(int i) {
      return 2;
      
      return i;
  }

Use IntelliJ (Google's favorite Android IDE - they make a mod of it called Android Studio but the good stuff makes it back to IntelliJ)
