I'll add one to it.

It says the top categories are:
Games
Communication
Social
Travel and Local
Tools
There is no dispute possible for the fact that freemium apps are the top earners. You can see that by looking at the "Top Grossing" list on Google Play. Notice that most of them are free with in app purchases. It doesn't mean it is necessarily a good fit for every app, though, and that is where the opinions come in.
You can do more specific research somewhere like App Annie to look for the most successful apps that are similar to the one you want to build. For any of them, though, you can probably find some other similar ones that aren't making squat. So plan to be like the best in quality and marketing plans.

I'm not sure if there is any noteworthy niche in these categories. There are always trends and copy-cats of successful products. I guess the only real key to making money with apps is being able to provide a quality product, regular updates and continuously promoting it with a solid advertising plan and budget. It's usually not done with just releasing the app and announcing it on a few forums and social websites. As with all things related to business: you have to have money in order to make money.
Talking about most revenue... I read a few articles on Gamasutra where mobile app developers swear on "freemium" (free download with in app payments for feature upgrades).
Here are various opinions on that matter from different game developers:
