Unfortunately Coinomi uses BIP32/BIP44, those are not compatible with Electrum seed. What you need to do in order to retrieve your BTG:

1. Move your BTC to a new wallet, so they stay secure and safe.
2. Make a new wallet with Coinomi.
3. Use the sweep function to sweep private keys from your old BTC wallet.
4. Shouldn't be that many private keys needed to sweep, usually 1 - 3 that hold BTG.
5. Or you can check on block explorer before sweeping.
