I am creating Application in which I have give functionality like Facebook timeline where people can update their story and any user can like or comment on the story. Everything is working fine but what I am facing issue is that when any user update story then data of updated story get saved on server but not added in recycle view at same time. When User go back and again comes on timeline screen then list will get update. How can I solve this problem ?

You need to implement some sort of polling mechanism on server end to do this. There's a workaround for it but it's not considered good practice. You can use a Timer to call your getTimeline function periodically to update the recycler view. Something like this in your onCreate:
Timer autoRefresh;
autoRefresh=new Timer();
autoRefresh.schedule(new TimerTask() {
@Override
public void run() {
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
getTimeLineData(token, page);
}
});
}
}, 0, your_time_in_milliseconds);
You can even do this asynchronously by using AsyncTask in Android.
