Just a note that C2DM is a Google service and is available on devices
that are shipping with Google Market.
Depending on your requirements you might need to support also some other
polling mechanism even when implementing C2DM for some devices.

I am supposed to poll the server to update the client of the changes
in (almost/near) real time. The interval suggested was five minutes.
Is this too frequent?
Five minutes is so-so. I would make it configurable:

Mark>>>No, you have to re-create your alarm schedule on a reboot.
So I will capture the BOOT_COMPLETE broadcast and setup a new
schedule.
Yes.
This application was originally written for iPhone and there it uses
their Push Notification Service to keep the data on the device up-to-
date. I am supposed to port this application on Android so I am not
sure of the approach to take.
In a year, C2DM will be the right answer. For today, AlarmManager
polling should suffice.
