Starting with the Spring 14 release, Salesforce supports Google ( GCM ) and Apple ( APNS ) mobile push notifications via the Connected Apps framework. Please check the Mobile Push Notifications Tip Sheet on Developer Force for more information: http://www2.developerforce.com/en/mobile/resources

You will likely need to monitor the API for events from salesforce by polling; otherwise you might be able to get events sent to a specific URL. I'm not positive that you can specifically send a push notification from salesforce itself.

However, with your application you should be able to build in some middleware to handle that.
