First, you have to differenciate local notification (which is launched when app is running or in background) and push notification (which use Google or Apple server).
I suggest you to use a webservice and push notification. For example, when your app launch, request the webservice to send the app version and know the current version on stores. Here, you can deduce if the app can be updated and you can send push notification to alert that an update is avalaible.
Codename One provides an easy-to-use API for push notification.
However, Google Play and ITunes usually alert user that updates are avalaible.
