I do get the impression most game developers ignore most of the Android specific stuff. They still have to respect the Android lifestyle, and a game or two I otherwise like fails to properly save state...
but you basically end up writing directly to the canvas and can follow the standards for java and opengl game development. Garbage collection is your enemy for real time games. So for RT games you'll want to create nearly all of your objects up front, and thus attempt to avoid garbage collection. You'll want to avoid creating new objects during real time portions of a game. If you aren't making a real time game you might consider sticking with standard Android UI actually.
