In iPhone a play button appears on a video automatically, like here:

Currently Android doesn't display the play button. A workaround this might be to detect if the user is coming to your website through iPhone or Android. Have a look at this to see you to do that. You can then show the button only if the user comes to the website through Android.

You will also have to manually play the video on Android. 

var video = document.getElementById('video');
video.addEventListener('click',function(){
  video.play();
},false);
