I am developing campus Hub android app(which have student information, results, notifications from the administration etc). How to alert my app users when there is a new notification from the administration(when administration post a notice it directly adds a row to my notices table). I want send this notification automatically when there is new notice in my notices table. notices table is there in a external database

    if the table is in sqlite mobile database then using previous count < current count we can show notification , if the database is from backend server side we can show notification using GCM push notifications. – priyanka morisetti Feb 24 '16 at 09:07

After successful insert send the notification from admin end to the app and handle that notification at the app end.

Usual steps are:

  1. Create a Google API Project
  2. Enable GCM for your Project
  3. Link Android App
  4. Deploy a Droplet
  5. Set Up Python GCM Simple Server
  6. Send a Push Notification

This list is from example:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-server-to-send-push-notifications-with-gcm-to-android-devices-using-python

This example using payton on server side. You will need to find example prior to language you are using on your server but other steps are independent on language itself. This is usually task with less or more problems, so once you start using this tutorial for example, you will find concrete problems you have to solve.

  • So @SandeepSamudrala is those answers helped you in anyway. Do you plan to downvote, upvote or accept any answer of this, or to comment if it helped or not? – mommcilo Feb 24 '16 at 13:07
  • no, can't we send push notification automatically? I have referred androidhive link in that he is getting list of users in the web page from that he manually sending notification to each user. I need automatic push notifications (when we insert a new row in database table, it should notify the user). I am using php as server side script and mysql as database.. – Sandeep Samudrala Feb 25 '16 at 04:26
