Find my iPhone works the same way. You can put a device in "Lost Mode" and it will lock the device, enable low power mode, and disable TouchID.
The problem is, once you're device is sized I'm fairly certain it's standard operating procedure to put the phone in a faraday cage or airplane mode, rendering remote activation of this feature useless.

The article is about temporarily disabling fingerprint unlocking and that's what you can achieve with the Android app (does Apple's let you lock the device you're holding in your hands? It might have a sanity check that only allows you to do it with your other devices). The alternative would be to remove manually all your fingerprints, then readd them later.
