A) does android support DRM ? Yes, it does.the most common solution is widewine recently. It depends on OEM if they support it or not. the latest Nexus phone or tablet should support it.

B) If Yes how to use DRM in android? it's better to refer to https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer about how to use widewine

C) who are the content providers ? Actually you don't need to know who is the content provider. Who encrypts the content should be the content provider in this meaning. There are some sample video hosted by google in exoplayer file ,which you could use it for testing.

  • @Shiv - They are such as online stores (to control how the digital music and video files you obtain from them are used and distributed.) They sell and rent songs and movies that have DRM applied to them. – KV Prajapati Nov 17 '11 at 07:16
