Firstly, How did you compile the executable? I hope you've used a Cross-Compiler.

And Yes, you can execute applications...No special rights required.

I haven't tried that method, (Process.execute()) But i can Confirm Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/path/a.out"); works.... :)

When you execute it, the application will have the same privilege level as your application (non-root)...unless you rooted the device.
