How to get real-time status notification using the SDK for Facebook through a listener

I use the Twitter4j and Android Facebook SDK to receive status messages. With Twitter4J, I get real-time notifications when a new status is added to the stream via StatusListener(Twitter4J). In the SDK for Facebook, I can’t find a similar way, I can only receive whole streams over and over for a fixed period of time using the RequestListener(Facebook SDK), as far as I can see.

Is there a way to get real-time status updates with the Facebook SDK just like with Twitter4J?

There is a real time API

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api/realtime

but it’s only for communication between servers, so it’s not very useful if all you have is a mobile application without a server infrastructure that your application can subscribe to - this is exactly what I was looking for in my particular case.
