  1. Any server-side programming language
  2. Java for android development
  3. A strong understanding on JSON parsing
  4. Take help from Google Cloud Messaging(GCM) Tool
  5. Understanding XMPP and XMPP Server

For creating an instant messaging app, you need to have knowledge on front-end development which is taken care by Android system. For storing data to servers, back-end language is needed (I prefer PHP). For sending data back and forth, JSON will help with that. GCM will provide you with push notification services.

Here is a easy way to start creating an Chatting application
