It is a PUP detection (two engines now alert for it on VT).

This may mean that you are OK with it ,when it entered onto your Android by your own choice and installed by you willingly,
even you were aware of the risks and would you allow that app.

On the other hand it is quite another story when it landed onto your device without you being aware of it
In the latter case it is a Potential Unwanted Programme (PUP)-detection and PUP-malware.

Not an FP, but depending on how it entered onto your device.
