Is their any cloud messaging services for windows phone.
just Like Google Cloud Messaging for Android.

yah its called WNS (Windows Push Notification Services). You can send out messages(push notifications) from the cloud to the device.
Actually, Microsoft has WNS and MPNS.
WNS works for Windows 8 devices, and MPNS is for Windows Phone devices.

In my Flutter project, SMS auth is working on the web and Android (yet to test on IOS). When testing on Mac (physical device) I get this error:
UnimplementedError (UnimplementedError: RecaptchaVerifier is not implemented)
I am unable to find documentation on how to make SMS auth work on MacOS. If this is not possible, what suggestions do you have where I can still use Google's SMS Auth on other devices.
I'm pretty sure Firebase Authentication currently only supports phone number verification on mobile clients (iOS, Android and Web). It does not currently support phone number verification on macOS.
I'm trying to set up Windows Push Notification Services (WNS) for Windows server 2013. But I can't seem to find any documentation regarding this online, as most of it just explained more towards the client side.
Any guidance or reference is highly appreciated.
if you wanted to do push notification service for Windows, then you're correct that windows notification service is the right one. However it is a cloud notification service just like Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) or Google Cloud Messaging (GCM). However you can host your own service in Windows Server 2013 to talk to WNS. Otherwise you can use Azure Notification Hub which can integrate with your backend. So if you go for Azure Notification Hub, you will need to build a backend that talks to to Azure. Take a look at the link
We have succesfully managed to send push notifications on Android from GCM, but I was wondering how can I connect to Apple Push Notification Service with GCM? Do I need to download some API´s on the client side or is everything supported on the backend? I am using Xamarin.Forms to develop the frontend.
You will have to use APNS or 3rd party stuffs like PushSharp
Please have a look at the following threads. There is a bit of configuring required to have push notifications enabled in Ios. You need a couple of certificates.

Google recently launched GCM for iOS. There is a Objective-C API available, however, I'm unsure if there is a Xamarin wrapper in place anywhere.
Xamarin has finally published the free component Google Cloud Messaging for iOS
And here is a link to nuget package.
Can we use simple java restful webservices to enroll the device under company apps in windows phone 8 devices.
I had tried with php and getting the proper requests but no luck with java my webservices are not even getting a hit from company apps.
Please suggest.
Yes we can use the simple java REST webservices for enrolling the device under Company Apps account.
Scenario:
I'm building a Windows 8 App which is outside of Windows Store. Here I wish to receive notifications using WNS. I have a Publisher which will generate events based on the user action on UI (Ex: Like Uploading a file, Once file upload is completed the event will be generated). I created a internal WCF Service(End Point) which will subscribe to the publisher and listens to the notifications sent by the Publisher. I'm integrating my Listener to WNS service in turn, once notifications are received by the listener, in turn will be sent to WNS Service to process and deliver to specific Device.
Here my question is in order to avail WNS service , do I need to keep my app in Windows Store ?? Is it mandatory ???
And Is their any way to implement push notifications in Windows 8 without using WNS Service????
Please clarify me on this.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

An app that needs to use the Windows Push Notifications Service (WNS) will also need to be present in the store. For an app to use WNS, it needs to register with the store app portal, which provides an app with a package security identifier (SID) and secret key, which are required to authenticate with and use WNS.
Windows Store Apps that need push notifications can only use WNS.
Traditional desktop applications are not able to use WNS, although they could implement their own version of push notifications.
