Where Does Android Gets Its Traffic Stats?

Quite simple.  Android get these stats from Linux sysfs and proc file systems.  They can be found at the following locations on a Android powered device:
Android TrafficStats Linux File Location
Android Traffic Stats Table
getMobileTxPackets() /sys/class/net/rmnet0/statistics/tx_packets
/sys/class/net/ppp0/statistics/tx_packets
getMobileRxPackets() /sys/class/net/rmnet0/statistics/rx_packets
/sys/class/net/ppp0/statistics/rx_packets
getMobileTxBytes() /sys/class/net/rmnet0/statistics/tx_bytes
/sys/class/net/ppp0/statistics/tx_bytes
getMobileRxBytes() /sys/class/net/rmnet0/statistics/rx_bytes
/sys/class/net/ppp0/statistics/rx_bytes
getTotalTxPackets() Add up tx_packets for all interfaces under /sys/class/net
getTotalRxPackets() Add up rx_packets for all interfaces under /sys/class/net
getTotalTxBytes() Add up tx_bytes for all interfaces under /sys/class/net
getTotalRxBytes() Add up rx_bytes for all interfaces under /sys/class/net
getUidRxBytes() /proc/uid_stat/[uid]/tcp_rcv
getUidTxBytes() /proc/uid_stat/[uid]/tcp_snd

  1. Is there any way to get the statistics per uid seperately for each and every application in android?
