There is no official release of Android for the Raspberry Pi yet this cannot happen until Broadcom have completed the drivers for the bcm2835 which seems to be non-existent.
In the meantime you can run unofficial builds of Cyanogenmod but the slow speed and lack of driver support makes it unsuitable for practical usage.
As for wifi support this would very much depend on what chipsets are added into the build I don't believe it's possible to add driver support once the OS has been cooked unlike Linux.

Just FYI , this is the last update from Broadcoms side on
Android :
http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewt ... 39#p344518

To be honest , that was not unexpected for me.
