Please add Notifications

Could you add a sync interval setting with a notification after the sync if there are new articles?

I second that, it would be great.

Automatic synchronization is the only function that prevents me from switching to this app.

Sorry for not updating this earlier, I thought I could get away without implementing this 😉. But apparently lots of people would like to see this.

Some groundwork has to be laid first before this can be implemented:

• Add an account using the Android AccountManager [WIP] WIP: AccountManager #62
  • Add an AccountAuthenticatorActivity to create/manage this account in the AccountManager
• Create a stub ContentProvider
• Create a SyncAdapter
• Add a Service for the SyncAdapter
• Move synchronization from the SyncService to the SyncAdapter's onPerformSync method
• Add settings to configure the sync interval

Not sure if/when I get around to implementing this, pull requests welcome.
