I believe you are looking for Notification Hubs.
Hope this helps
Is there a Azure service to send messages between a web app and an android app?

I am working on a MDM application with an android app client and a web interface. I am currently using Azure Stoarge Queue to get messages from the web interface to the Android app but it seems very inefficient. I have to poll the message queue in the Android app to get messages. I am looking for a Azure service that is more event driven. I looked into Notification hubs but it requires Firebase which requires Google Play Services. The Android devices I am developing on do not have Google Services as they are devices that our company manufactures.

2022-09-18T13:14:56.367+00:00 That is the azure service I was going to use. However, it requires Firebase and Google Play Services which I do not have on my Android devices. Or is there a way to hookup Notification Hub on Android without a third party service such as Firebase?
