Google intentionally removed the functionality to open a file chooser from webviews in Android 4.4 (chromium 30 based webviews), as it wasn't a public API. This impacts Cordova/Phonegap which Salesforce1 is built on top of.
According to this Android issue tracker thread it should be fixed in Android 4.4.3 (chromium 33 based webviews), though this appears to be a partial fix as some people appear to be still experiencing problems with that and 4.4.4.
There's some more detail from the Cordova perspective on their bug reporting system.

Thanks. I hope to see it working on newer version. By the way salesforce1 is built on top of aura not phonegap. jessealtman.com/2013/12/introduction-to-aura Commented Jul 1, 2014 at 17:08

2Not so - Aura isn't a mobile application container, its a user interface framework. Salesforce1 is most definitely built on the mobile SDK which is in turn built on phonegap/cordova. Aura provides the user interface components. Commented Jul 1, 2014 at 17:49
