Is there any way that I could block the user of deactivating the Company Portal app from the Device Administrator in a Android Device. What I'm trying to accomplish is that the user can't uninstall the Intune Company Portal app or unenroll a company owned device.

You can not prevent a user from uninstalling an app, however you can force the app to be installed every time the device is synchronized with Microsoft Intune.
From https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn646972.aspx:
When you deploy an app, depending on the deployment action you choose, the app will be made available for users to install from the company portal, automatically installed, or uninstalled.
...
Required install – The app will be automatically installed on devices to which it is deployed.
...
To define a timeline for the app to be deployed, click the drop-down menu in the Deadline column, and select one of the following options:
As soon as possible: During the next synchronization, Microsoft Intune scans devices in the selected groups, and then deploys the app.

That's a good tip, but what I'm looking for is a way to prevent the user from unenrolling the device, not uninstalling a particular app. – Andres Sep 22 '15 at 23:39

Then you probably need to edit your question for clarification, because you use this exact phrase, "What I'm trying to accomplish is that the user can't uninstall the app..." – D34DM347 Sep 23 '15 at 02:25

I think it's preatty clear that "the app" it's "the Company Portal app" because it says so before. – Andres Sep 24 '15 at 11:56
