Port it to Java.

Or, use something that has a public REST-style Web service interface.

Or, use something designed for Android. There are several analytics firms
that support Android -- Flurry, Medialets, etc.

That will slow down the start of your app and will consume a lot of
memory. I doubt your users will appreciate this.
