Fix broadcast discovery in Android

On Android and potencially other mobile platforms, WiFi drivers are configured
  by default to discard any packet that is not directed to the unicast mac
  address of the interface, this way they could save some battery but breaks
  anything that is not unicast, such as broadcast discovery. To solve this
  problem On such platforms provide methods to handle low level multicast
  listening so we can receive advertisement from same broadcast domain nodes.
