And for your problem, it will be possible using GCM (Push notification) only or you have to run one service and you have to call webservice every minute and when you get it you have to set Notification bar — Pratik Dasa, Nov 13 '14 at 05:55

PHP is a server side process - it only runs when a user/app/service requests the page.

MySQL is a server based database. It's not "connected" to your app.

Your app must then "poll" your website (it has to request data from it periodically). This is best done using an XMPP type service. You can find a lot of info on XMPP - basically, it's complicated to setup and run. It probably isn't worth doing unless you've already done it.

Alternatively, you can use an existing XMPP service. Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) is an excellent option for most Android devices (any that has Google Play installed... so, it won't work on an Amazon Fire phone, for example). It's not "easy" to setup, but they do a lot of really hard stuff for you. Also, there are a lot of references for setting it up, like this from Google:

What you are looking is Google cloud messaging.

For Gcm you have to write a server in your case is php server.
For Gcm server code or for testing purpose refer this link.

Android: Test Push Notification online (Google Cloud Messaging)

But firstly it is best to learn about GCM itself and it's mechanism. For this you can refer this link. https://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html

You have to do some settings in Google console which are all explained in this article including the android side code.

Hop i helped you.
