I recommend Cisco Umbrella deployed with Systems Manager for this. You can install Umbrella and the Umbrella configuration on Android (and other platforms) via Meraki Systems Manager to obtain DNS filtering on devices.

Here is a good video and documentation which shows the integration between SM and Umbrella:

Do you have an MX?  If so, use content filtering.

If you want the content filtering to happen no matter where they are located, look at Cisco Umbrella.

I thought I'd just add this on for records sake, though this does work for the devices running android 6+ it does not work on my devices running android 5.
