How do I implement a webhook in Android?

Question

I want to have URL for examplewww.example.com/status in my Android app to which I will be observing and will be receiving multiple POST requests from the Server. With each POST request, I will trigger a feature. I don't understand how can I implement a listener on a URL 24x7. All I want is a place to start with. If this is not possible then is Push Notifications a viable option?

Note: The webhook isn't supposed to be on the Server instead it should be on the Client (Android) and Server is supposed to send requests on the webhook.

I would suggest reading about nodejs https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36632649/running-node-js-on-android — Sanved, Sep 21 '17 at 06:33

You can use firebase push notification . Use a web server to send push notification to your application, and perform the action inside the Firebase Event service.

Link to appropriate firebase documentation is required or relevant parts of the documentation should be quoted here to implement a webhook. – riser101 Jan 02 '19 at 12:00
