I use APG (Android Privacy Guard) on my Android phone for this:

I use the IMAP client "K-9 Mail" which uses APG for PGP functionality.

K-9 Mail only supports inline PGP though. I'm not aware of any email
application on Android which provides PGP/MIME support at this time.
The authors of K-9 Mail have been saying for over two years now that
they will provide PGP/MIME support. I'm no longer optimistic about this.

It's also worth noting that The Guardian Project is working on porting
GnuPG to Android:
