WhatsApp Keyword Monitor & Listener - Android Apps

Two Android apps (notification-listener + accessibility-service) that push WhatsApp keyword hits to a webhook.

The challenge

WhatsApp has no API for reading messages on Android - any scraping is adversarial.

The solution

Two companion Android apps. WhatsAppListener uses NotificationListenerService with a keyword UI, per-device ID, deduplication and webhook POST. WhatsAppMonitor uses an AccessibilityService + Jetpack Compose + Room, walks WhatsApp's UI tree, extracts phone numbers with configurable country prefixes (1/972/…), persists via DAOs and reps, and exposes a Compose UI with navigation. A shared KeyStore project holds signing keys.
