@linuxxx That's what I meant.

@rsrj Ohh then I understood it wrong!

@Froot OK, so I put it in a wrong way. It was just a hobby project, I am not a developer of the forum. I wanted to check new comments on the forum so I used their API to make an app for my phone. And, I don't think polling every 10 **minutes** will lead to a DDOS.

@rsrj Ah yea, 10 mom is fine I guess. I was just making a general statement 😄

It all makes sense now...
There must be a simple, reliable, compatible, battery efficient way to poll an api every ten minutes and send user a notification, right?
AlarmManager : Ok. But who cares about battery anyways?
Google cloud messaging : Ok, you can have battery efficiency. But who lives without Google anyways?
JobScheduler : Ok, but you need Lollipop. Which Android phone doesn't get updates? Oh wait, shit.
