像WhatsApp这样的Android通知

Question

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.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.
