I haven't tested it myself on Android but I have heard from multiple sources that it is working. If you want to try it you have to compile it yourself. I suggest to try the Qt 5.4 version as it doesn't have the Qt3D dependency anymore.

I'll just note that there exists a simple QtQuick/Javascript only map
element implementation, originally written for AGTL:
https://github.com/webhamster/advancedcaching/blob/master/advancedcaching/qml/PinchMap.qml
It is a simple map widget that uses open streetmap tiles by default and
supports the usual operations like zoom in/out, pinch zoom, scale bar,
centering, etc.
It has no external dependencies and can be easily extended. The above
linked implementation is for QtQuick 1.0, but it is really easy to port
it to QtQuick 2.0
and some project are already using it with QtQuick 2.0:
https://github.com/M4rtinK/modrana/blob/master/modules/gui_modules/gui_qt5/qml/PinchMap.qml
https://gitorious.org/foursail/foursail/source/826a6be5cd77547639b5caa02795e945f05657fc:qml/PinchMap.qml
^^^ this is probably the most standalone QtQuick 2.0 version that can be
used as a drop-in element in basically any QtQuick app.
