Yeah, it would have to be a push notification. Running an actual IRC client that had to maintain connection on mobile would destroy your battery.

Anyone aware of anything that works on mobile that does this?

Well irssinotifier uses Google cloud messaging (is that the current name? The Google push service). It encrypts messages on the server and decrypts them in the client, using a passphrase. It's a technically neat solution but a bit annoying to set up.

It has a script for weechat (and of course irssi), not sure about other clients.

Or you can use pushbullet /..., there should be scripts for any popular scriptable client
