Android + Maven + Eclipse is definitely possible, but speaking from experience, it's painful. Tedious to get working, builds are very very slow and fragile. You can do it, but it'll hurt.
For what it's worth, IntelliJ + Android + Maven works wonderfully. Because I was working on a largish Android app that was built with Maven, I switched to IntelliJ CE and I've been a very happy camper since then. Everything supported out of the box (no plugins to install), everything cooperates, and the build is fast and stable. Switching IDEs is a big deal though, but if you really like Maven, I personally believe that is your best option....
