Do you really want to use an .osm file? Why?

What does "customize osm map" mean for you?

What does "private" mean? Do you not want that anybody sees your modifications are are your modifications just not suitable for the general OSM database?

Do you really need to provide raw map data or is it enough to display a few markers, optionally with popups?

Unfortunately, you're going to need to provide more information about what you're actually doing, I think. You say that you're developing an Android application, but don't say whether you're doing that in Android Java, Cordova, Xamarin or something else. You don't say whether the app is using OSM or your own tiles or is rendering on the fly. You don't say whether it should work online or offline. You don't say if you're using any of the common frameworks (like osmdroid).
