Do you mean you want help with developing an Android app which publishes to mqtt? I think you would be better asking that on an Android forum.  
However there are a number of mqtt apps for Android available, one of those may be useful to you.

Hi

This is not particularly Node Red related but I have done something similar using MIT App Inventor 2 and an MQTT extension

> **[\[Paid\] Mqtt TCP/IP extension update 4/06/2019](https://community.thunkable.com/t/paid-mqtt-tcp-ip-extension-update-4-06-2019/7168)**

> Hello everyone this extension I have wanted it and for a long time it is mqtt by tcp / ip by this protocol suede much of the communication of facebook messenger ...

It works great
