Since Android and FxOS are both based on linux, and linux can't guarantee realtime performance, neither can guarantee realtime performance.
Both Android and FxOS use garbage collected languages (Java for Android, JavaScript for FxOS) which don't use realtime garbage collectors, so even if the OS were realtime, it still wouldn't help unless the portions of interest were written in languages which don't need GC (like C or C++).
