The Open Mobile API maps "javax.smartcardio":http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/jre/api/security/smartcardio/spec/javax/smartcardio/package-summary.html to the "Transport API within the Open Mobile API":http://www.simalliance.org/en?t=/documentManager/sfdoc.file.supply&e=UTF-8&i=1185787014303&l=0&fileID=1322061907922.

On Android the "Secure Element Evaluation Kit":http://code.google.com/p/seek-for-android/ (seek) is implementing the Open Mobile API specification with its Smartcard API framework extension (see http://code.google.com/p/seek-for-android/wiki/SmartcardAPI).

To include the Smartcard API framework extension, the android source code has to be patched (see http://code.google.com/p/seek-for-android/wiki/BuildingTheSystem). After that, it can be used by including http://seek-for-android.googlecode.com/files/org.simalliance.openmobileapi.jar as library in the developed application.

This implies that, as long as the Smartcard API framework extension is not part of the official android sources, the developed application will only run on properly patched development devices and is therefore not distributable to end users without further ado.
