Can I use Windows Azure Notification Hub to send push notification from Windows 8 to Windows Phone 8?

Question

I created an ASP.NET MVC 4 app which can send toast notifications to Win 8 and WP 8 as well. My (maybe silly) question is that can I use Notification Hub to sent from Win 8 to WP 8 / WP 8 to Win 8? If not, I have to use Mobile Services?

Thank you very much! :)

It appears that ist is not possible to install Azure.ServiceBus package in Windows Store apps, which would permit to easily send notifications through Notification Hub.

However, if you have the Push Channel Uri you can send them directly through MPNS. The only thing you need to do is to create an HTTP request with the appropriate headers and body.

You will find the instruction in the following link:
