Pigeon is the name of the background task in the android client.

InBound messages:
  once:
   onCreate()
   onStart()
   onBind()

  repeating:
   notification_status_update - every 30 second heartbeat timer
   onLocationChanged() - GPS notifications from android, sent whenever with a frequency hint from the app.

The next step (2008Dec9) is to consume GeoRSS feeds and display them on the map. The pigeon should do the polling so that it can set off a vibration proximity alarm.

That means the Radar activity, which has the UI, will have to use the pigeon interface to manage the list of RSS URLs.
