Android Question Check Website for Notification in Background

[CrunkFX]

Heyho,

I wonder if it was possible to create an App whitch is capable of showing an online forum. After closing the App it should check if there´s a notification and then notify me. The forum is built using nodebb.

Thanks,
CrunkFX

Possible options:
1. Use StartServiceAt to make a service start every X minutes.
2. Use a foreground service: Background location tracking
3. Best option: use push notifications.

Thanks for the reply. I thought of having the Website beeing checked for a specific part to become red. There is an alert function whitch creates a red bell on a new message. Thats what i wanna archive. Check in background, alert via Push Open the App and Show the Website

I assume it's your forum so you only need a small piece of php code (at least a curl statement in any language) to send a FCM message to a device. Very easy.
