how to habe texts read to you over bluetooth

I have a Lumia Icon, and Cortana does this automatically for me. All I had to do was pair my phone to my car, and whenever I get a text, it will say "you got a text from Garrett. Wanna read it, or ignore it?" And then after it reads the text, I can call back, respond with a text, or be done with it.

I don't think android phones have this built in, do they? I have a friend with a GS4 and she wants this functionality, too. Her car is older and doesn't have Bluetooth in it, and I bet it doesn't have an aux input, either.

How can the same effect be created with an android phone and Bluetooth speaker? Is there a certain app or speaker you'd recommend?
