Apps A few how to questions

How do I go about alerting the user that they have a new notification on my forum? Also how do I allow the user to upload and download files from my forum? I have included the code I have I just have no idea what code I need to add and where I need to add it I'm a complete noob when it comes to doing this.

Code:
package technologx.technologx;

    private WebView webView;

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // If the Android version is lower than Jellybean, use this call to hide
        // the status bar.
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 16) {
            getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
        }

        // Adds Progress Bar Support
        this.getWindow().requestFeature(Window.FEATURE_PROGRESS);

                CookieSyncManager.getInstance().sync();
            }
        });
    }



    @Override

        } else {
            // Your exit alert code, or alternatively line below to finish
            // Finishes forum activity
            super.onBackPressed();
