Look, I'm going to save you a lot of grief from others. It's just not possible, period.
Just because the Vita runs on an ARM processor like most Android-based machines doesn't mean it will run any Android software.
If this Android app is open-source however, then it may be possible to port it. Depends what it is.

I'm late to this party, but it seems to be possible.
According to a Vita hacking scene developer, theflow claims he wrote a .so loader to load Android's GTA: San Andreas.
I don't think Vitandroid was involved in this. So as you can see, yes, it's possible to run an Android app on the handheld.
Now, customizing it to run smoothly on the platform is another story.

This is not directly running an Android game. In case you don't know what a ".so" is a shared library; compiled native C(++) code. He most likely had to add a lot of hooks to get the native code to run. As well as the fact that Android apps are mostly made of Java (which this implementation does not use, it might fake call a few JNI functions) and some don't use any native code at all: I'm sure this is the case for the game OP is asking about.I'm late to this party, but it seems to be possible.

Jayro:
Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.+1 -

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1 -

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1
