Are you building a native, hybrid, or Cordova application? You might find this helpful: http://dominoc925.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/how-to-create-and-use-android-archive.html – Andrew Ferrier Mar 14 '16 at 08:33

1In that case you may need to be prepared to write some native glue code (e.g. a Cordova plugin). AFAIK, AARs are only for native Android code. – Andrew Ferrier Mar 14 '16 at 11:33

As suggested by Andrew in the comments, there is nothing specifically in the MobileFirst framework that will help you here. You will need to write native code in order to use whatever is inside the AAR file.
Create a Cordova plug-in as described in the following tutorial in order to access the AAR file and use its provided functionality: https://developer.ibm.com/mobilefirstplatform/documentation/getting-started-7-0/adding-native-functionality/android-adding-native-functionality-hybrid-application-apache-cordova-plugin/
However I believe this may also require handling it via Gradle: cordova plugin add external .aar file (not .jar)
Another suggestion that comes up is to extract the .jar file that is inside the AAR file and then that's much easier to handle...
