Unfourtunatly you will need to be more specific about what you think you want to do.  "android mobile authenticator" could be many things.

Android has a platform authenticator built in to the OS.  You cannot replace that, if that is what you are thinking.

A first step is to start with the Fido CTAP2 specification.

This is the most recent public review draft of CTAP2.1 there is a RD02 coming soon.

It depends on your use cases:

If you are looking at banking, or transaction compliant use cases, you might want to look at FIDO UAF protocol. It is a mobile centric authentication framework.

Android phones, and Windows laptops have built-in FIDO2 Platform authenticators, and you can't replace them.

You can as well turn your android phone into BLE authenticator https://github.com/FabianHenneke/WearAuthn
