PowerShell and Notify My Android (NMA)

Here is a PowerShell function which wraps around the Notify My Android notification API call. You can use it in your environment to Notify Android devices when you like.

Please note that line 57 below, that reads as

should actually be [ x m l ] $webpage (without spaces) so you will need to manually correct this (the limitations of the syntax highlighter plugin prevents this from displaying correctly).
