How to setup a mongoDB server and use it for an android application?

Question

We are developing an android application that needs to communicate with a remote database, in order to sync some Strings. After some research it seems that mongoDB fits all the requirements.

However we are new to back-end and are clueless as to how things actually work. Google wasn't of much help as I couldn't find anything that explains this stuff clearly enough.

From my understanding we need a mongoDB and a REST API server. How do we go about setting these things up to use with android?

A step by step guide and a brief explanation as to what we need would be extremely be helpful.
