Push notifications are not possible using native Blocks with App Inventor 2. In my opinion, it is impossible to trigger a push notification based on a change in your website using an extension or any other means.

You might scrape your Web site continually using the Web component to establish if there even are any changes made on your page using a Clock. That would work for a single item.

Here are some resources to help you learn to use the AI2 tools. A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor’s Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook http://www.appinventor.org/book2 … the links are at the bottom of the Web page. The book ‘teaches’ users how to program with AI2 blocks.

There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro and the aia files for the projects in the book are here: http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles

How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here: http://www.appinventor.org/content/howDoYou/eventHandling .

Also look here http://kio4.com/appinventor/index.htm and here http://www.imagnity.com/tutorial-index/ for more tutorials.

  • how to scrape a web page
  • Clock explains what the Clock blocks can do. Unfortunately, you will not be able to ‘affect the post page on my website’
  • You want to 'anytime I post on my blog page on my website all my app users should get a notification on the phone" that is impossible.
  • You can use a Clock to periodically ‘scrape’ your Web page for some types of information. You cannot inform all your users with a notification. Sorry. Users of your app would be able to use the Clock to continually poll your Web page and get a response on their copy of your AI2 app. This is NOT a notification.

This article indicates it is possible to use your Website (in some situations) to send a push notification . This does not use App Inventor at all. For additional advice , Google something like send a notification from your web page and follow the advice from the links. What you do depends on your web page and whether you can use a free or a paid service to do this. Good luck.
