[wp-xmlrpc] GSOC Proposal - Extending WordPress Remote API

[prasath nadarajah]

What i thought was mobile clients can use this on startup
rather than in real time.

Every time i open the android app do something and close.
The next time i open in the startup screen
we can display notifications about the changes.
On startup clients can call this method to display notifications.
This way the battery life is saved.
