Android devices after 5.0 (when ART was introduced) precompile ~~JVM~~ Dalvik bytecode to LLVM on the way to native code. If you want to deploy native code that was compiled via LLVM, you've been able to do that for a while. The native API is pretty crappy, but trying to shoehorn LLVM IR into a Java bytecode replacement (which is not an easy task, see PNaCl) doesn't do anything to help. Edit: ART handles Dalvik bytecode, not Java bytecode.
