If you want a ready-made solution, you might want to have a look at Parse. It's still in beta, but I've been hearing good things about it. They provide API libraries for Android and iOS.

If you are going to build it yourself, do use HTTPS to protect data in transit and use whatever framework/language you are most comfortable with.
