I need to display some data from the server via my RecyclerView. The problem is how to notify the application that new data is available in the server. I have seen in some applications where the top of the list has a button with text like "Show 5 new posts." After clicking on that button, the 5 new posts download from the server without downloading the entire list of data. How can I implement that same synchronization?

Might not be what you want, but also have a look at [Firebase](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J6spwAVP0M) when you have te time. – Mikel Mar 07 '16 at 11:38

There are lots of ways to achieve synchronisation in android.
- You can use SyncAdapter (Highly recommended).
- You can use GCM, push to client if anything new comes up and act accordingly.
Further you can use Local Broadcast Listener to notify that view
