Sending data from sever to Android Device

Question

I am using LAMP stack in my server and I want to send data from the server to the android device. The android device should not make a request to the server for getting the data , the server will send the data on its own and the android device should receive it using a background service. What should I do?

P.S -> I know GCM and parse.com do this using push notifications but is there any other way?

Make a background service which will ask data to the server and get it with JSON/XML ? — , Apr 07 '16 at 08:49
There may be ways other than GCM push notifications. Why do you want another way though - why is GCM not a solution for you? — Joni, Apr 07 '16 at 08:49

In General I can see only three options,

Make time to time requests from device to server
Use Google Cloud Messaging
Use a signal R client for android (if you need to use signalR you should use microsoft asp.net instead of LAMP )

I would like to recommend you GCM way. I haven't use Signal R in android native mobile applications but i have use it in web application development. I have added some links above, hope it will help you.
