Hi

I am trying to use the "Notify My Android" push notifications, the RingTheRedPhone example gives a long list of errors

Any help on this will greatly appreciated

Arduino: 1.6.8 (Linux), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

You need to post your code.

What version of the Arduino IDE are you using?

Was the program written for a different version?

...R

Looks like the HTTPClient library was last updated four years ago to support Arduino 1.0. I suspect it is not compatible with 1.6.x as it is. It looks like sendUriAndHeaders() is called with a 'const char *' being passed to a 'char *' parameter. The 'const' keyword means "you have to promise not to change these characters" and the 'char *' parameter doesn't make that promise so the compiler throws and error. Either the string should be writable or the parameter should be 'const'.
