Quoting Jaguar from Stack Overflow, Android is built on top of Linux, and a large portion of it is written in C.
Android apps are written using Java, but not the system (kernels) itself.
I'd suggest to go for C++. Why?

The official language for Android development is Java. Large parts of Android are written in Java and its APIs are designed to be called primarily from Java. That said, it is possible to develop C and C++ apps using the Android Native Development Kit (NDK), however it isnât something that Google promotes. According to Google, âthe NDK will not benefit most apps. As a developer, you need to balance its benefits against its drawbacks. Notably, using native code on Android generally does not result in a noticable performance improvement, but it always increases your app complexity.â
