looks like there is one coming soon: http://www.apogee.com/products/cjre-a

The first JRE4A scheduled for release in mid march 2014 is targeted at wireless and “connected” devices based on ARM Cortex-A8, Cortex-A9, Cortex-A15, or similar ARM processors running Android 4.1.x, 4.2.x, 4.3.x, or 4.4, such as smart phones, tablets, other "hand-helds", home gateways, etc. The JRE4As targeted at devices based on x86, MIPS, and PowerPC processors running Android 4.2.x, 4.3.x, 4.4, or a subsequent release of Android would follow in 2nd quarter of 2014.

This first JRE4A will be available for download from Google Play as a single Android-compatible “.apk” file, which will run, after installed on a given Android device, side-by-side with its Android on “top” of its Android-specific Linux while utilizing relevant native libraries that come with Android. This means that each Android device having the “.apk” of JRE4A installed on it will be fully capable of executing JAR (Java ARchive) files of Java SE 5, SE 6 or SE 7 applications, in addition to still being fully capable of executing DEX (Dalvik EXecutable) files of Android applications. That would, for example, benefit the users of Android devices who have existing Java SE application developed for devices running Linux or other operating systems, because they could continue to use such applications on their Android devices without having to convert a JAR file of each such application to a DEX file, which is difficult to do and often results in a DEX file of poor runtime performance.
