The real time doc page doesn't mention friend requests, so i was wondering if an app can get real time updates if a user has a new friend request?

The only thing I can think of is to use the Message object since friend requests now come through the message box.

Directly from the documentation:

friendrequests The user's incoming friend requests.

Special permissions may be needed

as you can read here it says: "Not all ... connections of the user object can be subscribed to... list of User connections to which you can subscribe: feed, friends, activities, interests, music, books, movies, television, likes, checkins. You can't subscribe to these User connections yet: home, tagged, posts, photos, albums, videos, groups, notes, events, inbox, outbox, updates, accounts.We will add support for more properties and connections in the future". So the friendrequests is not mentioned in the can or can't list. –  doro Apr 18 '12 at 7:22
