request.user_agent() returns a Storage object with lots of details about
the user agent. Try {{=BEAUTIFY(request.user_agent())}} in a view and visit
it from some Android devices. I think request.user_agent().dist.name ==
'Android' might work (not sure about all versions, though).
request.user_agent().os.name should be "Linux" in the case of Android.
Note, not all user agents have a "dist" attribute, so first check for the
attribute before checking for the name.
