What exactly is this LISTEN/NOTIFY?
Is it some function in socket programing or some part of postgres?

Listen/Notify is a means of letting a connected postgresql client know a
insert or other event has occurred.
It won't help if you need to send a command/message to some other tcp/ip
daemon.
You set up a rule to use Notify:
create rule InsertDetect as on INSERT to notify_test do notify recinsert
Then on the client side (if the client has libpq listen capability) you
listen for the incoming notification messages and react to them
accordingly.
