I have a request to monitor couple of scheduled SQL jobs in 2012 version.
Example: There is a SQL job which is scheduled 6 times a day starting 12:55 AM PST. Now for what ever reason, if this job fails or if it is an out of cycle run. Because, we have few scenarios where we need to manually kick off the jobs apart from schedule. I need to differentiate between manually kicked off runs and Scheduled runs of that job.
I checked EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_help_jobactivity but is only giving me requested date and starttime info.
I need prepare a script to dynamically check and differentiate between manually kicked off runs and Scheduled runs of SQL jobs.

I'm going to take a quick stab at this since nobody has responded yet. What I am showing you here is not a complete solution but should get you moving in the right direction.
First, msdb.dbo.sp_help_jobactivity should give you a number of columns: the query below runs fine for me on 2008 and 2012.
DECLARE @job_hist TABLE
(session_idint,
job_id varchar(100),
job_name varchar(200),
run_requested_date datetime,
run_requested_source int,
queued_datedatetime,
start_execution_date datetime,
last_executed_step_id int,
last_executed_step_datedatetime,
stop_execution_date datetime,
next_scheduled_run_date datetime,
job_history_id bigint,
[message] varchar(1000),
run_status int,
operator_id_emailedint,
operator_id_netsentint,
operator_id_paged int)
INSERT @job_hist
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_help_jobactivity
SELECT 'Scheduled' AS Scheduled_or_manual,
PATINDEX('%The Job was invoked by Schedule%',[message]),
*
FROM @job_hist
WHERE PATINDEX('%The Job was invoked by Schedule%',[message])<>0
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Manual',
PATINDEX('%The Job was invoked by user%',[message]),
*
FROM @job_hist
WHERE PATINDEX('%The Job was invoked by user%',[message])<>0
That said, you can also get this information from msdb..sysjobhistory
SELECT 'manual' AS Scheduled_or_manual, *
FROM msdb..sysjobhistory
WHERE step_id=0
AND PATINDEX('%The Job was invoked by user%',[message])<>0
UNION
SELECT 'scheduled' AS Scheduled_or_manual, *
FROM msdb..sysjobhistory
WHERE step_id=0
AND PATINDEX('%The Job was invoked by schedule%',[message])<>0
AGAIN: Both the above queries are not complete solutions but should get you started.
