Python-for-android (from the Kivy project) is also an option
You can keep your Python/CPython code, you just have to write the
necessary build recipes if you have any unusual C lib to build, and keep
the rest of your code logic as is, i don't think anybody tried to run
Jupyter Notebook with it, but there are bootstraps to display a web view
instead of a kivy app, so maybe it's totally possible to make ipynb run
there and display the interface in a normal android WebView.
If what you want precisely is the algorithms you are devising, not
specifically IPython notebook, and you don't care for a semi-native look
on your app (kivy uses OpenGL to display everything, not the native
toolkit, which is unnacceptable for some people) you can build a
different UI to display your results with kivy, which is quite efficient
for rapid prototyping of applications.

Hi Dipu,
The short answer is “not really” - especially if you’re hoping to have an
actual user interface.
The problem is that Android *really* wants you to run Java. You *can*
compile CPython for Android, but that code won’t have any easy access to UI
elements like buttons - you need to use JNI to bridge into the Java
runtime. Another approach would be to play around with running your Python
algorithm as a service on your tablet, which your UI then interacts with.
Another approach is to use VOC, which is a Python compiler that outputs
Java classfiles; this is a fairly new tool (so it isn’t feature complete
with Python yet), and it isn’t the fastest option, so if you’re doing image
processing, it might not be the best idea.
Jython would also be an option - but Jython doesn’t currently compile on
Android, due to some binary dependencies that Jython has.
So - it *can* be done, but you’re going to need to get your hands dirty if
you want to make it happen. There isn’t an easy, ready-to-use,
just-deploy-it solution for Android.
Yours,
