Evan, As far as I can tell there is little support native to Android for what you are lookng for. It has good basic http communication support but not much higher level abstractions. That being said you could write a layer to do the serialization into a stream and then HTTP it to the server to be deserialized. On the server it would reconstruct from a stream you get out of an HTTP POST payload. Its not fancy but it would definitly work. I simply POST simple XML to the server and DOM parse it out rather then trying to send objects.
I imagine Google's concern is two-fold a) resource constraints for the development team to add such support and b) Its alot of s'ware to add to the system at this time. Sorry to not be of more help.
