You only use [ if you want to test the value of an expression, not if you want to test whether a command is successful. If you're testing a command line, you just put that command after if.

if ./adb logcat | grep --line-buffered 'Monkey aborted due to error.'
then
    ...
fi

Also, you need to have a space between if and [.
