When I use topic/subscription in Azure Service Bus, is it possible to call an web api to inform me to get the message? Like AWS SNS

Question

As I know, in AWS, if there\'s a new message in queue, AWS SNS can call my web API to inform me to get the message, so I don\'t need to get message by polling the queue to check

Not via Web API, but via .NET client library. This is named there the "Event Driven Programming model". And is in .NET Client library since April'2013. You can read more here:
