Actually Push notifications will not work if he Force Closes the app, since they stop functioning at that point...

I'm no expert on push notifications, but my understanding was that the device receives the push notification then sends out a broadcast that can be handled by your app, which will be started if need be.

http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/gs.html

Section 4.

"This broadcast receiver is responsible for handling the 2 intents that can be sent by GCM (com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE and com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION) and should be defined in the manifest (rather than programmatically) so that these intents can be received even if the application is not running."
