Well, of course, this is possible, you can simply just do the normal Java socket stuff. The problem comes with the details of actually using it and interfacing to it. Besides the problem of not really having an easily addressable IP, it's just not clear what's being asked here.
This idea implemented naively lends itself to a risky "everlasting service," an antipattern in Android. That's really the problem to be avoided here, not a webservice per se. Instead, it would help if the OP would more fully explain what he wants to do. Likely he can use GCM or something of that nature to communicate between devices, rather than a web service *on* the device. (Assuming he's using it for communication between devices..)
