I've been working with android audio recording for a while.

As far as I know the only guaranteed supported recording sample rate is
44100Hz which means up to 22KHz of bandwidth.

This should be a "real" sampling rate, no upsampling on most devices.

Did you try to set AudioRecord with 44.100Hz as sampling rate?

Regards.
