Creating Android apps
Is it possible to create application (not a game) for Android or it takes hard way for apps developing on Unity with scriptings? How about integrating maps and sql or taking data from webs?

Unity is a 3D engine, it's not for general apps. That doesn't mean you're limited to games, but if you don't need a 3D engine, then you're better off doing it the "hard way", or at least using something else.

It depends on what you are doing. My app (runs on all platforms) integrates live external data and SQL and live video feeds and all kinds of fun. But it's no spreadsheet/text/paint app.

Android applications are generally written in Java. Java has the full power to connect to databases, and integrate maps as you want. Java will give you more power to do that for Android.
I would stick to using Unity to make games/3d applications.
