It should, but might not, for another reason. The voltage used for cell phones is all 5V, just as USB uses 5V, and phones are connected to the PC with a USB to whatever connector is used on the phone, with no electronics (to modify voltage) in between.

But, as I have found while trying to find separate replacement chargers for various cell phones for the family, or using a PC, they have an issue. That is, the cell phone manufactures have found a way to identify what charger the phone is connected to, and if it is not one made by them, the phone rejects the charger. Of course I have not used every phone out there, but I have seen this with at least three different cell phones I have tried to use with generic cell phone chargers. The phones do the same thing with a PC.

Bottom line, you will not hurt your Android phone (which really tells us nothing about who makes the phone, Android is the phones OS) by connecting it to a PC for charging, but you might find the phone does not "like" the PC as a charging device. All you can do is try.
