    I wanted to know if their was a way to implement something similar to the "Observer Pattern" between a windows 8 app written in winjs and an application server. For example, if I have an application server with PHP code and a win8 app and I wanted to send notification to the win 8 app, could I trigger the notifications from the application server to the app with out the app having to check first for the notification?

    It depends on what exactly you mean by the app not having to check first for the notification.

    You can definitely set things up so that the app sets up a channel to subscribe to notifications from the server without having to poll.

    Take a look at Connecting with WebSockets and Connecting with sockets , depending on what your server supports.
