As part of Google's App Review policy, you might receive an email indicating that your Android application was removed from the Google Play Store due to Security Vulnerabilities and violation of Google's Malicious Behavior Policy. The message will be similar to this:

After review, package name com.app_****.layout, has been removed from Google Play because it uses software that contains security vulnerabilities and violates our Malicious Behavior policy. Your app will not be available to users until you submit a compliant update.

This can usually be fixed by republishing the application.
