Some Android apps is asking for Adnroid 4.4 or recent.Is there any way to run those apps ?
No.
With the right phone, absolutely.
The Android runtime for all BlackBerry 1o devices is locked at version 4.3 and cannot be updated further. So, apps that require 4.4 and above won't function properly (if at all) on BlackBerry 10.
Some apps can be patched to remove the requirement, but if the apps use anything from 4.4 that isn't available in 4.3, then it's not going to help.

How can be patched?
Using ps-patcher?

Open apk file, find Manifest.xml and uses-sdk tag. Set min sdk level (version) with attribute android:minSdkVersion
SDK level for android 4.3 is 18.

Yes. Either PS-Patcher or using mcwolfmm's instructions in the post above mine.

It should be noted that this trick will only fool the system into running the app thinking it is a 4.3 app. If the app, actually attempts to use APIs specific cu 4.4 or above, then that app will most likely crash.
Considering that devs usually target the lowest possible API version, it is 99% sure that some 4.4 Android code is being used. How often that code is executed during normal operation of the app, is app-dependent.
