Updating info while application is closed

Question

I need to create an app which gets data from an array on the web and send a push notification when there is a change in the array's contents. The part with the array parsing is done, but how can I listen to it for changes that listening to be done while the app is closed. How can I do that?

you'll need to implement support for Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) - https://firebase.google.com/docs/notifications/ — John O'Reilly, Dec 19 '16 at 19:07

Take a look at Android's Services. This may be what you are looking for. You should use a service to "listen" for changes in your array and then spawn a notification if there has been a change.

Here are some links to get you started! Android Services Spawning Notifications from Services

Happy Coding
