Totally. What you probably want to do is have your VB app listening on a port for data from the Android app, and the Android app would just send data to your app using that port.

This is the basis of fundamental communication using sockets.

Android has a class called Socket that will handle this on the client end, and there is the equivalent for VB, depending on which version you are using.
