It probably won't be supported soon for multitude of reasons. Simply set compiler compliance to 1.6 in Eclipse and live without funky Java 7 features.
I know, it is not, what you asked for, but features of Java 7 are a bit more than the nice way of representing numerals. Have a look here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/jdk7-relnotes-418459.html ... that's quite a lot to port to Dalvik (even when only looking at HotSpot and language changes). Bear in mind that many new things in Java7 are possible specifically because the platforms that Java7 addresses have different (much more relaxed) constraints compared even to 4 core 1GB RAM mobile device. For example InvokeDynamic allows JVM to run trully dynamic languages, which are high productivity and all that, but cost in terms of processing and memory. Technicalities aside, remember that Google and Oracle only finished one big lawsuit. I don't think big G would like to have another one on their hands just yet.
