Are you wanting to send unsolicited messages to the Android app, or would it be in response to a request from the app? If the latter, I have a B4J app that uses the Server object to listen on a specific port for a specific request & then responds with the relevant data which I parse on the app. On the Android app I use a HttpJob to send the request.
