I'm die heart fan of windows phone specially 950xl device, but unfortunately Microsoft has decided to stop support this platform.

As Microsoft is going to drop support for window 10 mobile as off December 10, 2019, lots of applications will also drop a support for same specially whatsapp. So I recommend that Microsoft should officially release Android rom for lumia devices (mine is 950xl) so that at least windows users can migrate to android easily without  purchasing new android device ("Reusing hardware").

Or is there any way to install android (may be unofficial support) on lumia 950xl so that I can migrate from windows to android after December 10, 2019.

    It is apparent that Microsoft doesn't care how any of the people, who spent money on their products, are hurt with their actions.  All they care about is how much money they make.  They could keep Windows Phone 10 as it is and not add any improvements and most of us would be satisfied.  But they will make changes that will stop the Apps from working if it means more profit for them.  I will not purchase any other devices or operating systems from them.  Since they say that they will not support Windows Phone 10 any more, I will set my phone to reject any updates so they can't do an update to stop it from working completely.  Which means that it would only work as an online device and my phone and messaging functions would continue to work.  Any Apps that still work would have to keep their servers operating, which probably won't happen.  I should be able to get my Email from Outlook by logging onto the server unless they stop letting anyone log in online without an App even on computers.  I have had a Microsoft email since Windows 98, but if they do this, I can change.  But it doesn't have to be a Microsoft product.  I have avoided Mackintosh and iPhone completely, from their beginning, because they operated exactly the way Microsoft is starting to act.

    "Microsoft does not and will not develop Android ROMs for any existing device" --> Well, as of yesterday's announcement of the Surface Duo and Neo, that's no longer true... but they still don't have one for Lumia phones, at least not one that they're sharing publicly...

    The Neo will be running on Windows 10X in case you missed that detail.

    As for the prototype mockup called the Duo, 14 months are a long time in the tech world. The rendering shown to the public may be quite different from the final retail product, assuming it reaches that stage.
