Yes, but you'll have to stream the video in a format that Android can
handle. And also you need to decide on an application where this should
be viewed in the end.

If you want to stream something to a website shown on the Android device
via Chrome you probably want to stream it as a DASH stream. If your
target is something else, it depends on that :)
