There is currently no ability to Push data to clients if there are changes on the server in WebDAV. So clients would need to schedule syncs regularily for changes on calendar, contacts, tasks, files, etc when using WebDAV or CalDAV/CardDAV.

There is a Standard in the works by the team behind the DAVx⁵ (Android sync app).

Project on Github:

The team on DAVx5 just announced that it's been implemented to a certain extent now into u/Nextcloud (activate the app dav_push) and DAVx⁵ (version >4.4.2) now and it already works and can be used publically in a first Alpha version. You can use u/UnifiedPush to receive events and tasks almost instantly on your Android now, which is super cool. No need to wait for scheduled syncs. FCM will also be supported as well as it will be extended to CardDAV address books and Files (WebDAV)

The tutorial shows the few steps you need to do:

It's hard work to bringt that to life but the team is making constant progress.
