It's also quite possible the certificate chain is a bit iffy. You can check this quite easily by surfing to the URL with the *built- in browser* in your Android phone. If the certificate works there but *not* in your app (i assume you are using the Apache HttpClient?) its most often your chain that is ordered incorrectly.
The built-in browser had a fix (afaik) for badly ordered certificates, HttpClient does not. If you are using a self-signed certificate or a root certificate not in the phone you'll have to do it the hard way and add your own truststore (AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory for instance). Uh, and Android only support BKS for the keystore I think.
