I'm going to contribute very unorthodox two cents on this.
The original poster wrote that his app does this:
1. I parsing XML in android which is hosted on server (same like RSS
feed).
2. It takes around 10 second depend on network speed.
3. XML refresh on server in every 15 minutes.
This is actually not that bad. Should take only about 1-3% of the total
battery usage, and that's at night, when the screen does not consume
power, and maybe even less (based on my tests with a similar scenario).
With compression for slow links, might take less.
While I agree that C2D really is a great alternative to polling, and is
architecturally the right thing to do, it takes some effort to set up
and maintain. Doing the obvious and much easier thing might be.... more
obvious and easier :)
So my recommendation would be to test and measure: leave the service
running overnight, and look at battery stats in the morning. That should
tell if there really is a problem that needs fixing.

Please note also that c2dm is proposed as a notification of new data
available on the server (or at least, it is what I understood :-) ).
There is a size limit of the data that can be bundled in the message.
The c2d message should only trigger your app to start the fetching
(and I wouldn't rely entirely on it, setting a coarser fetching interval).
Hope this may help.
