Would iMessage still work on my Mac or iPad if I switch to a non-iPhone

I use iMessage on my Mac and iPad as well as, obviously, my iPhone, but if I were to buy a different phone (Android, Samsung, etc), would the text message forwarding still work (Ignoring the fact that SMS forwarding only works about 10-30% of the time to begin with)? Meaning could I still send messages from my Mac or iPad as I do now? Is it linked to my phone number or the iPhone, I guess is what I'm asking.
