It seems you can but there are disadvantages than advantages. Here are some discussion on this topic Android forums and SO discussion. If possible it is better to look for alternatives like web-services.

I would first look at this question.

Depending on your requirements, you might want to look at the Intent system for IPC between apps on a device. A simple REST solution might be a better solution if you are looking to communicate with between apps on different devices.
