I am using opencv4Android under Android right now. Yet my findContours is really slow, 70~100ms. Does the opencv calls already taking advantage of gpu if the device has one?

What options I have to make my opencv calls run faster?

No, they all run on the CPU. Cuda will only come with the tegra 5 and also OpenCL isnt available on android. There was some unofficial opencl for the nexus devices, but it got blocked with the latest firmware updates.

The only option I see to make everything faster is to completely rely on the NDK (c++) and dont use java. In your opencv package you find an example called "native-activity" that shows how to do that
