Minimum Android OS version for C++11 support

I've found some sources that indicate C++11 is only supported on iOS versions 5 and above (such as this site that says "To use C++11, the minimum ios version is 5.0").

I'm wondering if there's any minimum Android OS version that has C++11 support?

I need to support at least Android version 2.3. My research so far seems to indicate no such min OS level. It would be preferable if anyone could point to official documentation on the issue if there is any (I haven't been able to find it so far).

On Android, the C++ standard library shipped with the system is a very limited one - if you actually want a proper, standards conforming C++ standard library, it gets bundled into your application (either linked statically or dynamically, based on the choice in the APP_STL variable).

So if you choose to use a C++11 conforming standard library, it's distributed as part of your application, so it should work regardless of the Android platform version.
