Android has no real support for BMP files. You are welcome to try to find some third-party code that can assist you in encoding in that format. It will need to be C/C++ code that you integrate with JNI and the NDK, as any Java implementation will be slower than the native routines used in Android for, say, PNG.
So, you can either spend weeks and weeks trying to solve a performance problem that you have not demonstrated actually exists, or you can just use PNG and deal with the performance problem if and when it appears.
