You'll probably want some sort of PUSH notification. If you are targeting 2.0+ you might want to take a look at http://code.google.com/android/c2dm/index.html. If you're targeting anything before that you'll have to roll your own. Probably using a service that either polls the server, or which keeps a socket connection open to your server and listens for any messages. AFIK, this shouldn't waste battery because the radio is only turned on/active when there is data present.
