Check how to use Broadcast receivers which will let other applications know that some data has been downloaded to the device and is available for them to use.
A broadcast receiver is implemented as a subclass of "BroadcastReceiver" and each broadcast is delivered as an Intent object. For more information, see the BroadcastReceiver class. Broadcast receivers don't display a user interface, they may create a status bar notification to alert the user when a broadcast event occurs. There could be many options of implementing your app -- one of the options could be that when ever the data is received from the server the notification shows up and on selection of the notification you can launch your app and process the data.
