No. There are a few that claim to, but none of them are actually any good. Waydroid, for instance, requires that your kernel is compiled in basically "Android mode" (e.g. binder enabled).




How do the Android developer tools run Android apps on Linux then?

Inside a virtual machine which is easy to detect.

Waydroid needs you to have a single kernel module, which is in mainline Linux and just happens to be disabled in many desktop builds. That hardly makes it an "Android mode" kernel, and I certainly see no reason why it should make the system no good.
