Both vorbis and flac are open codecs and are supported in a wide range of devices, like every Android device for starters, same goes for webm which is also open source and royalty free.

However, hardware support for WebM is very thin on the ground; the Tegra 4 is the only mainstream shipping SoC to have it, and the Tegra 4 isn't _that_ mainstream. That Android support uses the CPU, and thus hits the battery and performs poorly on older devices.
