I can explain one scenario , please explain what solution I should choose..

Computers and mobile devices are different network and connected to internet. Need to communicate between these devices. I have one static IP server to route it.

If I use HTTP , only one side communication can do

Use FCM (Firebasemessaging: DATA messages). WhatsApp, Facebook and other apps use it too. There are tons of examples here (and Google itsself). With it you can send messages to devices via Google servers (it's free!) from php or via an OKHttpUtils call.

You can use websocket or socket.io for peer to peer communication in realtime.

Or depending on the situation, MQTT can work. Broker runs on where the server with static IP is, or you can use an online broker service.

For the MQTT we have to depend third party as Broker. That is the problem. Can we easily make our own online broker ?

No. You can implement a broker in a B4J Server app. Where is the problem?
Sure you need to depend on 3rd party jar. But they are free to use.
You dont need to depend on any 3rd service.

I suggest to use a mqtt broker on your static ip machine running a b4j server app (implementing the broker).
All clients connect to the broker (even windows client) and listen to topics (or how this is called in mqtt (never used it so i´m not really familar))...

because server have a known fix domain name and there is a app that runs 24/7, the client app need connect first then you can send data in both directions via web sockets.
client app is always startet on demand.
