Use the OpenVPN Connect or OpenVPN for Android (a.k.a. ics-openvpn) app.

It would hardly work, especially when under unrooted environment, if it could work at all.

would be better than using a app.

Won't be better because of messing with Android's routing tables.
Android takes care about routing tables on it's own and doesn't expect that something will modify them outside of API.

@GRajin it is possible to control the openvpn connection from the command line with am as described for example here: schwabe/ics-openvpn#597. I'm reluctant to add it as a package as I don't want to get bug reports that the package doesn't work, when the actual problem is that the user hasn't routed the traffic correctly
