[Easy Way]

Use emails. Whenever a user sends you notification, you can simply send a mail to an account already configured on your (hopefully) android phone. This way you get through the task without spending any "extra" time handling notifications. You just have to enable sync from your android account and it will do the rest of the work for you. Most email applications handle the sync and notification themselves.

[Not So Easy Way]

Implement a GCM Push notification system. Whenever your server gets some message, send a push notification to your mobile that user 123 submitted data. On the android end, make an application that will handle that push notification for you. This is the thing you need : http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html

If you just want a static notification, I will recommend the easy way. There is no point spending so much effort building a system with GCM just for this, unless you want it branded with your name
