Depends on how you define Java. Android can execute Java programs, and bundles a handful of OpenJDK libraries, but it stopped running the JVM a long time ago.

Android never had a JVM as such, first Dalvik, and nowadays ART, and I mentioned another brand of coffee for a reason.

And it isn't the only subset of Java around, see the embedded market with their own flavours as well.
