How to Post Data to Android App using Inbound Connection?

Question

Is it possible to post data directly to an Android app from some URL on a local network using inbound connection?

Example: My Android device(Device 1) is running on local IP: xxx.xxx.x.146 and another Non-Android device(Device 2) is running on local IP: xxx.xxx.x.147. Device 2 only post data to URL. My requirement is to share Device 1 URL with Device 2, so that Device 2 can post data directly to Device 1 over same network. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Gaurav Kapoor
