I need to see what page an Android App is calling from my device. Are there any Apps like Fiddler or Wireshark to see what´s happening behind?

Wireshark is the most popular, free, and open-source packet analyzer. It can see all the network communication going in and out of all the computers in the network. It means someone who uses Wireshark can see anything on your network that's not encrypted. But unfortunately, it is not available for Android.
Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer that can be installed on Windows, Linux, and Mac. It provides a comprehensive capture and is more informative than Fiddler.
Conclusion. Both Wireshark and Fiddler performs identical things, which is capturing network traffic. Fiddler is implemented by Skybox Security, Cloud Drive and NeoQuant. Wireshark is an analyser of the network packet that aids to capture the packet data info.
I normally use a laptop with Wireshark instead of trying to capture on the device:

Setup the laptop to serve as the access point for the device and you can capture everything going on, and the wireshark display for the data is pretty rich.

If your Android device supports a proxy (apparently there are apps for that), you can just use Fiddler. See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/fiddler/archive/2011/01/09/debugging-windows-phone-7-device-traffic-with-fiddler.aspx for equivalent instructions for Windows Phone 7.
