Android Notifications like WhatsApp

I'm making an Android application and I want to get notifications like in WhatsApp – as the message comes. If any updates are made on the server then a notification should come to the user so he can check the application. Any help would be appreciated.

You need to use Google Cloud Messaging. With it you can send information from a server to an Android device. The Android device will be waiting for messages from the server instead of polling the server at timed intervals.

Firstly you need to integrate GCM with your system, so application need to get sender_id from google and put it to your server. Then if you want to invoke notification on your app you need to send message using this sender_id.

Here you can find nice tutorial. If you will have any question just give me a word.

I hope it would help you
