As you can see from the log, hostapd can't create a monitor mode interface with that driver (it's not supported) and hostapd needs that to do it's thing. Android does things differently and (I believe) uses different drivers so it doesn't have that restriction. If you simply must have AP mode, I'd recommend getting a USB WiFi stick that supports it.
