Hi Stefan, With our Nutiteq mobile maps SDK 2.0 [1] you can display 3D models on Android map view. It does not (yet) have AR as such, with current location and orientation sensor precision the map and models would be quite off-placed. And it is not ready application, it is an Android SDK for Map View only.
It does not read directly plain .obj format - we use there own mobile-optimized format (NML, which is kind of protobuf-encoded DAE packaged in sqlite table). We have an offline converter from KML to NML, which does a lot of optimizations (prerendering/resampling for lower zooms etc), this is currently still work-in-progress. It is meant to show thousands of models per city. If you want to add just a couple of models, then in principle you could parse .obj and create NMLModel objects what you can add to map, without the converter.
