To keep your app synced with your server, run a looping Timer on an interval in the background. Use it to check the server for new messages, and then feed those messages to the user.

Here a is an answer that may help you achieve this Android timer? How-to?.

So could I use services running in background? But using service my application wouldn't be very slow? – user3869064 Sep 02 '14 at 22:44

Your "real time" and "synchronization" are misleading terms. What you need is the implementation of Push mechanism. You can use cloud messaging from google, see this for details. Or checkout sockets and implement it from the low level yourself
