Description
Currently, it's not possible to run examples of WGPU on an Android emulator (tested on official android emulators on windows 10/mac 10.15) due to lack of Vulkan support. But it works well on real Android smartphones (currently, tested on Mi only).
The error may differ but here is one from my Mac Android emulator:
10-12 11:14:42.902 5395 5420 D vulkan : searching for layers in '/data/app/~~FEEqvpvQbJT0JSo8apm6hg==/rust.app-8dgkmZZJTxv2FVxgPqeUyw==/lib/x86'

Is it possible to fall back to OpenGL ES when Vulkan failed to load? Some researches shows that currently there's more than 50% of smartphones don't support Vulkan. What current blockers to support fallback?
Repro steps
All I did is created an empty cargo project and recreated WGPU hello-triangle
example, then run on Android with emulator -avd Pixel_XL_API_30
.
Expected vs observed behavior
Got errors while waited to see the example result as on my real smartphone.
