Today I learned GitHub has an android app 😆 Never used it before, but I just tried installing it and I get the same behaviour as you on shields.io badges with logos. It is definitely not intentional.

Interestingly, some ( non-shields.io ) badges that use logos do render the logo (although maybe it is part of the SVG not a xlink:href) and there is at least one other display glitch that I've spotted so far

browser:

app:

I suspect some of this might be about the SVG rendering in their app, but I'll have a bit more of an investigate and see if there is anything we can do on our side. This will probably be a pain to investigate as mobile apps are basically a black box :(
