Thank you very much Parijat, this was a new info to me and based on that i have done some googling based on that. Most sites mentioned only how to configure hostapd, that still didn't work for me so I did some further tweaking and testing of my own and I have found a way to make Androids to communicate with Ubuntu over Wifi and share the internet, I have mentioned the entire procedure in my blog so in case anyone in future faces my situation, it should be easy for them
