Set Push Notification in android

I have an Api. Suppose this api http://api.androidhive.info/contacts/ has this contact which I'm displaying in list view. I want to set a push notification in our application, such that when ever a new contact is added in the api then there should be a notification in our application that a new contact has been uploaded. This Notification should be displayed even if the application is not open or launched.

For example: It should function like "Time of INDIA" android app. When news updates come then it shows a Notification.
I am new in android. Please help me. hHw i will do this? Please send me example sources or post me related blog or tell me logic. How i will do this i have server access also.

Thanx

You can use GCM for this,

Google Cloud Messaging for Android (GCM) is a service that helps developers send data from servers to their Android applications on Android devices. This could be a lightweight message telling the Android application that there is new data to be fetched from the server (for instance, a movie uploaded by a friend), or it could be a message containing up to 4kb of payload data (so apps like instant messaging can consume the message directly). The GCM service handles all aspects of queueing of messages and delivery to the target Android application running on the target device

This document describes how to write an Android application and the server-side logic, using the helper libraries (client and server) provided by GCM.
