I think the only way you can run android apps on top of linux is within an emulator which is not very user friendly, if you take a look at the android architecture you'll see that there are many layers supporting the applications - Android core libraries, Dalvik virtual machine and all the components of the application framework.
If you install the ADT bundle you can launch an emulated version of several common devices and run any apps, but the performance is not great and I don't think this is what you're looking for.
