Is it possible to upload and convert an HTML file to PDF using Google Drive API without user interaction?

Yes, it is, with two requests. You can import the file as a Google Docs, then export it to PDF. Using the Drive API.
worked for me (Drive docs only...)
ByteArrayContent mediaContent = new ByteArrayContent("text/html", "HTML PAGE HERE".getBytes());
File body = new File();
body.setTitle("test.html");
body.setMimeType("text/html");
Insert request = null;
try
{
request = service.files().insert(body, mediaContent);
request.setConvert(true);
File file = request.execute();
HttpResponse resp = service.getRequestFactory().buildGetRequest(new GenericUrl(file.getExportLinks().get("application/pdf"))).execute();
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(getExternalFilesDir(null).getAbsolutePath() + "/test.pdf");
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
int len;
while ((len = resp.getContent().read(buf)) > 0)
{
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
out.close();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
