Push Notification Service for WPF based desktop app?

I need help to choose a Push Notification Service for my WPF desktop based app. I was checking on Google's Firebase, Windows Push Notification Services (WNS) etc but they all speak in context of App based environment i.e. iOS, Android or WP. Further more they have documented references for Web Apps using JavaScript.

Now i am stuck to find one which is compatible for my desktop based WPF + C# App.

Can anyone help me please?

It wouldn't work unless you convert your app (No matter if it's WPF/MFC/other desktop tech) to UWP/Store app.

Fine details are listed here:

Reason: WNS Push notification API doesn't support DualApiPartition attribute:
