Enhancement: notify when new comic is available

[jskeet]

It would be nice to optionally poll the web site in the background at appropriate times (either just on Mon/Wed/Fri or possibly every day, in order to catch "extra" comics) and display an Android notification when a new comic is available. The notification would launch the app to display the comic.

That way lazy people who occasionally lose track of what day it is could always be up to date.

Of course with Froyo this could be done with the notification framework, obviating the need for polling...

To use the notification framework, I believe there'd need to be a server set up that sends out the notifications. Might be easier and less expensive to just have it poll, like you originally suggested.
