You should have to communicate with server guy otherwise it's i think imposibble.@B Dudhraj – RAJAN Oct 04 '16 at 10:11

*i went though different resources and can't find suitable for my app* ... then there is no such resource or your skills are to low to use one ... both possibilities exclude the answer – Selvin Oct 04 '16 at 10:12

I did it the following, not that it is the only way.
I used push notification system. When a user comes online, it sends a notification to the server, server checks its friends so that it knows whom to notify, then send another push to the correspondence devices. On reciever, instead of pop up, I just changed the view or etc...
I did that long ago with GCM for a company. Firebase is the new GCM. Not sure if it's the most helpful way but it works.
