I was just asking this very question on IRC today. The answer I got was:
Sadly we shouldn't expect any BD-J support on neither Android nor Apple TV, because there's no JVM on those platforms.
I don't see a problem there though, considering what most Java game-developers do all the time: They embed a JVM with their games. In fact, they embed multiple JVM's with their game: One for each platform it has to run on.
And the JVM needed for BD-J playback could be trimmed down a lot and not take up that much space.
Of course, doing this on Apple TV would result in Apple hunting us down because you know, Apple's devices are forbidden to run any kind of stuff expect Apple stuff. But I could definitely see it working on Android.
