I am really happy with "render effects" on Android in combination with screen filter. Setting it to a monochrome red and dim brightness like the author wants is a piece of cake.
It sounds like this is exactly what the author wants. Given this is the kind of thing that is much harder to implement on Android than iDevices (due to the large number of different screen technologies) it wouldn't be a difficult thing to add the the OS. That having been said, I don't expect to see it (on a non-jailbroken device) any time soon.
