Sending updates from server to android
<p>What is the recommended way to send updates from a server to an Android app? I need to send data from the server that will show up in the Android notification list.</p>

<p>Polling the server is one option. But is there a better way? I have a website that receives updates from the same server using HTML5 Server Sent Events. Is there a way of doing something like this in an Android app, ie. creating a persistent connection that listens for server events?</p>

<p>Anyone know the best practise way of implementing this functionality in an Android app?</p>
