Your question is hardly relevant to libav-user mailing list, but anyway.

In Android, libstagefright provides software and hardware decoders.
The software decoders (for v.0, ICS) support:

MEDIA_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_MPEG4, MEDIA_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_H263,
MEDIA_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_AVC, MEDIA_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_VPX.

The hardware decoders may deal with other video types, but they depend
on the specific hardware. For example, some devices based on the Tegra
chip may have OMX.Nvidia.mpeg2v.decode that supports
MEDIA_MIMETYPE_VIDEO_MPEG2.
