Howdy Matevz,

I don't believe so, although I must include the caveat tat I do not use 
Android, so perhaps there is something out there I am not aware of.

Running patches via libpd in a mobile app is much easier than creating a live, 
graphical *editor* as with desktop Pd as:

1. the interaction metaphors are different
2. libpd does not have a way to tap into the core pd editing logic (yet)

That being said (written?), it's certainly possible to create something that 
can automate writing a Pd file which can then be loaded by libpd, however, once 
things complicated enough, you basically end up duplicating most of the core 
logic with the detriment that you have to carefully try to keep it up to date 
with whatever version of pd / libpd you are using. In short: it's a lot of 
thankless work that is best *not* done without lots of interest, resources, and 
support.

The closest thing I can think of is rooting the device to install a Linux 
distro so you can run *desktop* Pd, however I don't think this is where your 
question is focused.

As the author of PdParty, which utilizes libpd on iOS, I made a clear decision 
early on to *not* tackle on-device editing, mainly for the reasons mentioned 
above.
