I have already read Tutorials on Alexa Skill Kit
I have to implement Alexa Skill , In which I need to manually send command and want Alexa to speak it.

i.e When user login in system I can fire API as Alexa request and I want Alexa device to Speak that for example "Welcome Have a great day"

I think you may want to use proactive events for your skill. They are now commercially available. You will be able to send a notification to your skill and the Amazon device will blink (yellow). However you will still need to say "Alexa check my notifications" to retrieve the actual message

https://developer.amazon.com/docs/smapi/proactive-events-api.html

Another idea would be to use "progressive response" feature: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/custom-skills/send-the-user-a-progressive-response.html

You can fire the interaction to alexa when your API is invoked and send a progressive response. Not really a notification but it might serve you. This way you will not need to ask to check the notifications to Alexa but directly get the voice message in the progressive responses

If Push Notifications is what you're looking for, then the answer is YES.

Since in the comments you said, "You are not asking for HOW TO DO IT", so I'll just let this link here for your reference. https://developer.amazon.com/docs/alexa-voice-service/notifications-overview.html
