Sort of. It uses a VM called Dalvik, which doesn't handle class or jars directly; instead they have to be bundled up into dex files. These in turn are the executables within the APKs you'll typically download from eg the Google Play Store.
Checking the Terminal app on my phone it doesn't look like a regular "java" command is available, though apparently Terminal IDE offers one:

Just to be clear, you're not looking for a Java "emulator". Android runs on Unix (same as iOS and who knows what else). You don't need to "simulate" Java.
It's not that simple. Java runs a highly specialized version of Java that doesn't even use the same bytecode as the standard JVM. You would have to modify and recompile the code specifically for Android and then package it as an APK just to get it running. Even if you do do that you're going to get pitiful speeds in the <2 MH/s range, compared to 1 GH/s+ on desktop GPU-based mining.
What if you use the GPU of your phone?
