That part is beyond my elisp ability, but good to know that the feature
doesn't currently exist.

I already have a function for org-mobile to sync, could something like
that be hooked into?

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; Push to mobile-org
;; moble sync
(defvar org-mobile-sync-timer nil)
(defvar org-mobile-sync-idle-secs (* 60 10))
(defun org-mobile-sync ()
  (interactive)
  (org-mobile-pull)
  (org-mobile-push))
(defun org-mobile-sync-enable ()
  "enable mobile org idle sync"
  (interactive)
  (setq org-mobile-sync-timer
        (run-with-idle-timer org-mobile-sync-idle-secs t
                             'org-mobile-sync)))
(defun org-mobile-sync-disable ()
  "disable mobile org idle sync"
  (interactive)
  (cancel-timer org-mobile-sync-timer))
(org-mobile-sync-enable)
#+END_SRC
