Question

I need some guidance/tutorial links/code logic to know how can we use web to configure an android app installed on a non-rooted android phone.

Eg. Disable some functionality of the app by logging on to the app’s website and disabling the setting. What trigger does the website send to the app and how does this get changed/stored on the app side. How does a web server initiate an action(http request) to the app?

I am more concerned about the android part of the code that the web.

Any pointers please ?

See c2dm – it uses google servers to send message to a device.
