Basic long polling solution:

  1. Record the requests from the remote app on your server (e.g. in a database)
  2. Poll with AJAX to fetch any new requests periodically.

Neat HTML5 websockets solution:

  1. Setup a websocket between your server and the browser.
  2. When a request is made, post message to the client over the websocket.

Maybe checkout http://pusherapp.com for more info on websockets.
