Instead of sending data to the client (which assumes your client becomes a server somehow listening to that kind of data) I would just trigger an event on the client which will then download the data from the server.

So let's assume these two options:

  1. your client queries your webserver every X minutes to see if there is something (new) to download
  2. you receive a push message via Google cloud 2 device message system

Both will then trigger a download routine. Here is an example how to download an image via URL How to load an ImageView by URL in Android?

To send data in this direction (from PC to Android), you need Google Cloud Messaging:

because the app in client may be "sleeping"
