The way to go is using C2dM the official google push api

http://code.google.com/android/c2dm/index.html

instead of building it yourself.

To support older phones and/or if you don't really need real time notification, you can use polling. Check out the BuzzBox SDK as the simplest way of adding a scheduler and notifications to your apps. http://hub.buzzbox.com
