Unless they've already been working on it for some time now, this isn't going to happen overnight because...
1) USA - pretty much every pilot uses an iPad. No one cares about Android in aviation over there
2) Foreflight is a native iOS application. It cannot be trivially ported to Android - they'd have to re-write the whole thing from scratch
People say it's 'slashing the user base in half' but that's nonsense. Given that Foreflight (as much as they'd claim otherwise) is an IFR product, people flying IFR are not quite in the same category of skinflintery that the rest of the piloting community are, and if they don't already have an iPad (which would actually be pretty unusual), then they would probably just bite the bullet and get one if they felt it was the right tool for the job.
