[android help] Can HTML5 access native components

I have a question. Can an HTML5 page interact with native components in android?

What i am trying to achieve is that on a HTML5 page that displays a list of content. i want to create a notification that some content has arrived.?

Im guessing, a way to do this is to use a webview and display my HTML5 content there but how to do get callback from the webview so that i can notify a user that some content has arrived via notifications bar that can be access using native android coding?

I already know how to create notifications on android and how to create a webview, i just need to find a way to send data from html5 page to a android component and possibly vice versa.

Can this be achievable or too ambitious?
