Hi bact,

Perhaps there are more ways to do it and I would like to suggest one of them.

As I know in Windows Store App or Windows Phone we have push notification, which can be explained as server push the information to the client side, client side shows the toast notification, for more detail things please ref: Windows Push Notification Services (WNS) overview
