That's bit weird requirement. The short answer is "NO".
But if you can share what is the message you want to share and why, then probably we will be able to suggest you a correct approach.

Web applications using HTTP/HTTPS, like ASP.NET, are always request/response type apps. The client makes a request and the server sends a response to it. A web server NEVER arbitrarily sends anything to a client without the client making a request for it.

So, in a direct sense, no, you can't send a message from the web app to the client.

But, you can using other technologies, like SignalR[^].
