For that you have to configure something called Firebase Cloud Messaging and enable notification. Here is the complete guide on how to.

I understand your question to be "How does one determine if the play store has a newer version than the one installed".

I don't know of an official way to lookup an app's version in the Play Store. The most common solution I've seen for this requirement is to host the version number on a server somewhere and do a web request to get it.

There's a library at https://code.google.com/p/android-market-api/ that purports to do the Play Store lookup, (among other things) but I don't have any experience with it.

Found in stackoverflow (duplicated??)

public int getVersion() {
    int v = 0;
    try {
        v = getPackageManager().getPackageInfo(getPackageName(), 0).versionCode;
    } catch (NameNotFoundException e) {
        // Huh? Really?
    }
    return v;
}
