You could just write a web service that returns the data you need, and poll it at regular intervals. This is the easier solution.

A better one would be to use push notifications by utilizing Google's C2DM, but it's still in beta as far as I know (which is a shame, truly...). But still, it might be good enough for your needs, check it out here.
