The only part of the payment flow that should be done directly within a native Android app is the collection and tokenization of the customer's payment information, using Stripe's Android SDK.

Once the token has been created, you must sent it to a backend server, where you can use it to create a customer, then use the customer to create a subscription.

The reason you can't do this directly from the app is because those requests require that you use your secret API key, and the secret API key should never in any way be shared or embedded with the app. Otherwise, an attacker could retrieve it and use it to access your account and issue API requests on your behalf.
