An ORB ships with Java--has since 1.2. Find a Java ORB tutorial, give that a shot. My guess is it'll work as long as you're asking it to be a client--asking the Android device to be a server will probably fail for all the reasons Mark lists below.
Java RMI/IIOP should also work, as would RMI/JRMP, which is probably easier to write.
