Eventually I figured out the answer myself: in Android it's not possible. I had to make changes to the Android frameworks to enable this feature (skia for that matter: you may look at https://github.com/androidcompile/Android_external_skia_pngCompression), but otherwise, as a developer, there's no access to these features. Developers may only use an external library in order to save a png in a color paletted format.
