1. OK, start by learning about HTTP & REST to decide whether you want to PUT or POST your JSON.

2. Create a HTTPRequest in your Android app that puts the JSON into the HTTP message's body. See:

   • How to send POST request in JSON using HTTPClient?
   • How to send a JSON object over Request with Android?

Back to node:

3. Set up a node.js http handler for that type of request. I recommend using express, since it's easy and you'll find the most examples & support when using it.

4. Use a body parser in express to read the JSON object.
