How to get RSS feeds updates on my android application without sending requests to the server continuously

is it possible to get any update in feeds without the need of sending requests to the server contiguously ?!. is there a way like windows phone to let my application listen to the web server (channel) ? so if there were updates the web server will send the new feeds without the need of any request from the android application.

You generally write a server side component for this. The server polls the RSS feed regularly, often triggered by a cron job or the like. Clients register for push messages with the server. The server sends them push messages on update. See GCM for Android's implementation of push:
