Android uses Java 1.5 not Java 1.6. I'd strongly suggest keeping compatibility at java 1.5. You would risk using a feature that is not supported on Android.
Offtopic: Android uses the Java 1.5 class libraries from the Apache Harmony JVM. Apache Harmony never implemented Java 1.6 largely because Sun wouldn't license TCK to them under reasonable terms. This is part of the reason why there is no Java 1.7 right now .. Java 1.7 is probably 12 months late. Most of the other JCP members are (probably) refusing to support a Java 1.7 until Sun (now Oracle) resolves this issue.
