## What it is
An example Android app demonstrating how to receive push notifications using the MQTT protocol. It accompanies a 2010 tutorial on implementing push notifications for Android before official solutions like Firebase Cloud Messaging existed.

## Use cases
- receive push notifications in an android app using mqtt
- learn how mqtt push notifications work on android
- sample code for implementing push notifications without gcm
- demo app for mqtt-based messaging on android
- understand push notification architecture for android

## When to choose
- you need a historical reference for pre-FCM push notification approaches
- you want a minimal example of an MQTT client integrated into an Android app

## When to avoid
- you are building a production Android app needing push notifications today
- you want maintained code or official support channels
- you need a solution compatible with modern Android versions and Google Play policies

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: abandoned
- function: message-queue, middleware
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: push-notifications, mqtt, demo, sample-app, messaging, android
