Securely connect to a web service from an Android application

I am currently developing an application that downloads information from a web service that I wrote (in .net), and I want to protect the connection so that only my application can receive data from the service. What is the best way to get around this?

I do not want anyone to be able to get access information if they decompile / remodel my application. Is there a way to check the integrity of an application that requests data before sending?

I don’t care that they can sniff the traffic to see what it contains, I just don’t want anything other than my application to be able to send requests to protect against everyone who scraped all the data.

I am very new to security, as simple as possible please!

You can read a mechanism called One Time Passwords (OTPs). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-time_password

You can design your OTP application when it tries to connect to your web service. The responsibility for OTP authentication is in the web service.
