Asp.Net MVC and HTML5 PUSH notification

Question

I would like to have server side event in a full HTML5 application.

Server side I've an asp.net MVC3 web server, which gives HTML pages and JSON results.

What is the best way to integrate some server event? Like a process which can send some text message to client?

I've made some search and found something about a Asp.Net web api, but I don't know what it is and if I can use it with MVC.
