You can use notifications through firebase.
When the user logs in to your app, you capture the user's unique firebase token, and send it to your server to save the login data with the token. When you want to send a message to the user, you search your database for that user's token and put a filter on the firebase message, so that it is sent only to that user.

Yes, firebase is from google, some options are paid, but messaging is completely free, I use it in my apps, it works perfectly, fast and secure.

You can use socket.io or any websocket library for app to app or server to app communication. And you can also use those for background notification but for that you need to run a stickey service.
