Assuming you are interesting in connecting to the REST service to find out if something is waiting, have a look into AC2DM, also known as Android Cloud to Device Messaging, or Android Push Messages, and have your server tell the app to poll the REST service. Fairly easy to implement, and better than polling a remote service continually (wasting data and battery) when there is probably nothing new. Also, you should read about Services.
