One month ago, I was having the same issue, At that time (even now) I was not aware of any way or technology that may help me to perform communication from server to my android devices, however from device to server was going on well, then I figured it out that when I want my device to get notified?The answer is when anything changes on the server.Then I decided to start some background services on my android device that keep a check on the servers, if the background services encounter any flags or changes on the servers, then this notification is sent to the user on account of the request and, the user is immediately notified by using Notification Manager.I guess there must be some more efficient technology or method to do it, but this was what worked out for me.You can refer to online tutorials on notification manager, services, asynctask to get what you want.Good luck
