Unfortunately, Android and IOS specify different hardware specs for the remote feature. The way the clicks get registered by the devices are not compatible. Sad, but true. There are very few good solutions that I've found, but I have found a couple. So far, the best I've done is this combination: Samsung makes earbuds with a mic/remote specifically for android and they do work. Buying them is tricky. If you search amazon, you can find them offered as low as $2. They are, of course, garbage. They work for a few weeks and don't sound too bad but they're not actually OEM product, they're cheap copies. Still, for a few dollars I pick up a few packages at a time and use them until they break. There are others out there, but they're hard to find. Since I want to use my remote earbuds with audible (which is why I want to pause when I want to listen to someone talking to me, so I don't miss out on the reading of the book), I find the audible app is not aware of the button pushes. To solve this, there's an app out there in the Android market called "Headset Droid" which is excellent at directing the button pushes to where you want them to end up. The combination of the cheap knockoff "samsung" buds with the headset droid app works well for me. HeadsetDroid also has a feature that lets you test different earbud remotes. Plug them in, and use the headset droid feature and when you push a button on the remote the software will tell you waht button was pushed. It's a great little tool to see if the earbud remote you're using is compatible.
