Set Push Notification in android
<p>I have an Api.  Suppose this api <a href="http://api.androidhive.info/contacts/" rel="nofollow">http://api.androidhive.info/contacts/</a>  has this contact which I'm displaying in list view. I want  to set a push notification in our application, such that when ever a new contact is added in the api  then  there should be a notification in our application that a new contact has been uploaded. This Notification should be displayed even if the application is not open or launched.</p>

<p>For example: It should function like "Time of INDIA" android app. When news updates come then it shows a Notification.<br>
