It's available for iOS but not for Android? I didn't even know you could do that on iOS.

It's only for jailbroken iOS devices.
There are a few similar apps for Android, you can find most linked from here:

Screen Filter https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor

I only use that Screen Filter app to shut off the soft-key backlights since last time I tried it all it did was drop a configurably-transparent black over everything on-screen.

It's worth jailbreaking for! Www.jailbreakme.com As of now, you can jailbreak iOS 6, but not an iPhone 5
You can jailbreak only a 3GS or iPhone 4. A much better resource is http://jailbrea.kr/.
And if you want more details or help, see http://www.jailbreakqa.com/ - it includes a tutorial for jailbreaking iOS 6.0.1 on iPhone 4/3GS and iPod touch 4th gen, which has a tricky bit where you have to use the 6.0 IPSW (firmware file) as part of the process.
