I recently found a solution for this. Working Properly but a bit tricky.
As we know now there is no option for forcefully starting the receiving mode in the Android after the new update so we have to turn on 'Receive' forcefully and for that, you need to follow the steps below.

Now you need two Android devices first and make sure you have turned on the sharing to everyone on both devices.

Step 1: Send any small-size file from the other Android device to the main Android device (in which you want to receive the file from Mac) using a nearby share.
Step 2: As the Nearby sharing working fine from Android to Android the main device will automatically appear in the nearby devices list.
Step 3: Accept the file in the main Android device. Now the receive mode is finally forcefully turned on for the main device and you will be able to see the device in the Mac's NearDrop Share.

It's working fine for me but a few extra steps and a New device introduced.

Please try this and let me know. Meanwhile, I am planning something to forcefully turn on the receive mode in the Android.

Hello, hope you are doing well. Thank you for your solution. However, it is still not working for me. android to android device is working flawlessly but mac to android or android to mac is not working. If you have any other solution please let me know.
