I am getting data from the server, and I want to show a push notification in android. How can I do this?
Be clear to yourself What do you exactly want, I think you are using just a web service to get data. For push Notifiaction you need to implement Android Cloud to Device Messaging and here you can find complete tutorial.

The latest launch of Firebase notifications feature allows to manually give the time and content of notification. Is it possible to automate it so that notification is received every time a particular variable is changed in the Firebase database?
Thanks for the reply Hamid. I didn't want to get into the technicalities of GCM therefore I implemented the notifications using a service. This service listen on the Firebase database and sends a notification whenever new data is added there.
I think you would have to setup a GCM (Switched to FCM now) server that handles all that. But I also do wish that there was a simple way of setting that up without needing to build a full server.
There is a friendlyping application that helped me set the XPMM server.
I think the current Firebase Notifications are very much in its early days. It doesn't provide many of the functionalities of Batch.com or Parse Server... yet.
As the title says, I want to send a push-notification to my android phone via a form on my website. I've googled but didn't found the right answer to my question.
Maybe someone can give me an idea to do that or what I need for that.
You can use Parse javascript(JS) API to trigger the push notification from cloud. In other words, you can write a cloud function that queries the Installation table and sends push notification. This cloud can be triggered via Parse JS API. Another way, you can use third party of Parse API extension like Parse4j. You can implement your web site server side in java and via Parse4j you can trigger cloud function when the form is submitted and controlled. Hope this helps.

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.
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
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.
I am a newbie in android. I have developed few applications, but all are plain and simple, just used the built in features of android.
I was asked about push notifications, in one of my interviews and I decided to have a look at what Push Notifications are. I understand the concept of Push Notifications(I think), but whenever I read the term "Server", it's freaking me out.
I understand all the client side coding, but I don't get how to implement the server side coding. I have seen some people use XMPP, MQTT, etc., What are those? Here is my scenario and what I want to know..
Scenario ::: Let's say I have a website, with a table (the values are retrieved from database), where I update a few columns every day. I want these updates to be reflected in my android application. So, as I have read, push notifications can tell the application that there are updates available. Good. I am fine till here..
When the application gets the notification, should my application, contact the website and get the latest information? or will the updated information sent through Push Notification? I guess, my application would be contacting the website and get the information. Now, how do I get the data from the website? Should I get the source of the page and do some kind of parsing or something?
I will be asking more questions, as the experts clear my questions...
Sorry, if my questions are too naive, but this is the only place that can help me...
Push Notifications means Google Cloud Messaging for Android (GCM) is a service that allows you to send data from your server to your users' Android-powered device.
You can refer to this documentation
Google Cloud Messaging for Android
GCM: Getting Started
And there is also Demo App Tutorial given
in your case you need to create HTTP web service for getting data from the server.so when you get notification about update on server side.you just need to call this web service and get the data you need to update
I have web service Java(Netbeans), MySql and 2 android application.
I need when database is updated send any message (notification) to application who can help me.
Who can help me or show me some tutorial.
You need Google Cloud Messaging. This is probably the most easy out of the box solution for notifications.
Following keywords can help you further. To notify your web service from the database you could use Query notification or just poll your database.
If GCM is not suitable for you, you could implement a technique called long-polling.
