Imagine that I make an Android app that can be included within apps from other Android developers. They don’t have access to my source code and can at a certain place in their app include my app.
If possible, how can it be done to achieve this?
For example, on the web I can use a iframe to place a web application inside my website.

The solution in the case of Android is to create a Android library project (English), allowing other applications to use it attaching it to the application (English).
The steps are described in the links and require a complete reading for a correct implementation, although they do not differ much from the creation of a "normal project".

Referencing a library project
If you are Developing an application and want to include the Shared code or Resources from a library project, you can do so easily by Adding a Reference to the library project in the application project’s Properties.

It’s the only way I know that approaches what happens on a web page where we turn to iframe to include third party code/applications within our.

I don’t know if it solves your problems but your application can start an actitivy from another application and even receive a feedback from it. But both apps need to be installed separately.
