No. Quite apart from being a pain in general, the fragmentation of Android makes achieving accessibility, particularly of 3rd-party applications, at a level on par with iOS close to impossible. Android has made strides in the right direction, and for that I applaud them, but they are unlikely to match iOS in the foreseeable future. That has less to do with the work they've done, and more to do with inherent flaws in the OS, how it is handled, and the level of fragmentation of the operating system.
