How to pass data from Node Server to Angular Service?

Question

I'm able to send data from Node Server to Angular when I make an HTTP request.

How do I receive data in Angular without making an explicit request to Node server?

The functionality I want to implement in Angular is, I need to show Snackbars on top without any user interaction with the front end controls.

Which concept in Angular and Node should I use to achieve it?

What you need is WebSockets most likely. Recommend to look at socket.io library very easy implementation for node.js

So the ideea is that you can open a persistent connection client<->server and just can send messages bidirectionally from client to server and server to client.
