I also have a strong interest in getting PDF annotations from Android to
org-mode notes easily, so I've been following this thread with great
interest.

Very recently, on 11 November, there were a couple of commits to this
pdf-tools fork which also let you export highlighted text:
https://github.com/pinguim06/pdf-tools

Matt Price already referred to the pull request from that fork, but
those commits are more recent than the original pull request. I think it
uses the same principle as the solution mentioned here but maybe it's
more elaborate. I don't know enough elisp to confirm that.
