It sounds like you want custom commands beyond what Alexa has integrated without the use of skills. That being said, here is how I would solve this:

1. Build an Alexa skill that accepts your custom commands.
2. In the skill, use Google firebase messaging to send a message to your Android app.
3. Respond accordingly
