YouTube new video notification Android

I everyone I’m currently in the process of creating an Android application for my YouTube channel. I was wondering if anyone knew if there was any way to check for a new video uploads so I could use it to trigger a notification within my application. Thank you for any help.

You may want to use the Youtube API. Although im not sure how well the GData-API for YouTube is supported on Android (or if it supports checking for videos at all, never used it myself). Take a look here and see if you can find something.

Or you could load and parse the RSS-Feed at http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/YOURCHANNELNAME/videos.rss. Since RSS is XML based, that is certainly possible.
