Android Notifications over MQTT

This is a pragmatic MQTT→Android notifier with useful attention to operational details: per-topic QoS, retained-as-new behavior, per-message read/unread state and local persistence so alerts aren’t lost, plus a persistent-foreground mode for always-on connections. It’s not reinventing the wheel, but encrypted credential storage, connection testing before saving brokers, and a Compose-based UI make it a tidy, practical tool for anyone running IoT services who wants reliable mobile alerts.
