You're thinking of ChromeOS I think, which uses a combination of containers and virtualization (via the same VMM in this article) for Linux and Android apps..
Yeah, apparently Android uses users and namespaces, but not containers as we typically know them like ChromeOS does.
It uses separate UIDs mostly.
Along with SELinux
