Zeroconf (Zero Configuration Networking) is the standards body name. mDNS is one of 3 components that Zeroconf uses, the other two being local link addressing and DNS service discovery.

jMDNS works fine on Android but it is a 3rd party dependency you have to add and it is slow to start up.

Android 4.1 started shipping their own native Zeroconf implementation (Network Service Discovery) which kind of works, but is buggy as hell.
