A: 

In theory yes as Android is open source therefore you could write wrappers into the system services. But in reality probably not - or at least not worth the effort.

This isn't really true. You could build your own version of Android that makes features available, but standard Android runs third party applications in strong sandboxes that limits what they can do, whether written with native code or not.
