Hey Thunkers!

Today, thanks to our team of developers @tingccc @arun @wei, our awesome community and the team from MIT App Inventor, we are very excited to present one of our biggest releases on Thunkable for Android to date:

- **Floating Action Button, or FAB** / [docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/android/components/user-interface/fab-floating-action-button.html). We preloaded it with the Material Icon font so you just need to choose which icon and background color you want to use. Animation built in when switching between FABs. A big thanks to @pavi2410, @Sander0542 and @Andres_Cotes for their awesome FAB extensions that were our inspiration for this component

- **Push Notifications by One Signal** / [docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/android/components/push-notifications.html). Try it on [beta.thunkable.com](https://beta.thunkable.com) in the Experimental section of the palette.
