You can use socket programming where your computer will be the server and your phone will be the client. You can connect to your computer using a TCP connection and a fixed port number. You need to write a program for both sides.

Once you are able to send a specific message from your android device to your computer. You should easily perform the necessary task (like shutting it down, opening various applications of my pc etc) on the server side.

There are a lot of android socket programming tutorials on the internet.

There are no "available API's to remotely control my pc from mobile and perform tasks, like shutting it down, opening various applications of my pc". You would write all of that yourself.
