I made an Android application and I have a web-service (written in PHP). The service must send a message to application, so while my Android application works in the background and monitors web-service, it gets the message from service.
How can I organize this interaction? Thank you
分享 C2DM is probably the most efficient way to push notifications to your android phone (no extra polling needed). Give it a look.
If you want to do it with the background service, you can set the service to be woken up every x minutes with AlarmManager and send http request to your server to check for updates. However this does consume battery if you do it too often.
