Yes, it is possible, at least in part. I'm the author or Pro Android Augmented Reality (Apress).
Before you start with this app, I'd recommend you get a good hang of the Android platform, especially the location services, the camera API and surface views and how to draw custom views. I'd recommend Mark Murphy's books for learning android. After this, you should get a good understanding of certain math concepts like trigonometry and matrices. Finally, there are a few open source ar browsers floating around which you could learn from, and chapter 9 of my book actually has an ar browser as the example app. As for image recognition, you probably want to do it on a server, unless you're looking for very well defined markers, as our mobile devices aren't quite ready for on the fly image recognition of stuff that isn't predefined very well.
