You might look into using a NYSE (or the appropriate exchange's) stock ticker service. Or maybe the stock you're interested in following has an RSS or similar service for posting changes in their stock. Check their web page to find out what's available or find an appropriate service and then look for examples on how to incorporate that into code.
Also check out the Yahoo finance API.
