Sure. Your client can be listening for them. You need to provide a lot more details though.

Absolutely agree. Actually, it all depends on what OP calls a "service". I provided some insightful links, please see my answer.

It all depends on what do you call a "service". I agree with ryanb31: you need to provide a lot more detail. Anyway, this should understand that it would be something well beyond the very limiting client-server model. To get some ideas, please read on "server push":
