"apple-mobile-web-app-title" on Android
This is possible using the "application-name" meta tag. However it only appears to work with chrome. Firefox and the android browser don't use the title tag
<head> ... <meta name="application-name" content="Awesome App!"> ... </head>From, Usage in web applications section

Create a JSON file called site.webmanifest, that looks like this:
{ "name": "Long name", "short_name": "Short name", "icons": [ { "src": "/android-chrome-192x192.png", "sizes": "192x192", "type": "image/png" }, { "src": "/android-chrome-512x512.png", "sizes": "512x512", "type": "image/png" } ], "theme_color": "#ffffff", "background_color": "#ffffff", "display": "standalone"}Then add it to your HTML like this:
<link rel="manifest" href="/site.webmanifest">The "icons" part is irrelevant to your question, but you should probably include them as well (and actually make those icon files). I got this from this article: https://dev.to/masakudamatsu/favicon-nightmare-how-to-maintain-sanity-3al7
Chrome has added support for JSON-based manifest file for your web app since M39. The field short_name is equivalent to Safari's apple-mobile-web-app-title in that it would be preferred where there is limited space to display the full name, e.g. app launcher.
W3C spec for short_name field in web app manifest file:
The short_name member is a string that represents a short version of the name of the web application. It is intended to be used where there is insufficient space to display the full name of the web application.
