Can I be notified over HTTP when a channel is created or closed?
Yes, this is supported using WebHooks.
You can register for HTTP events to pushed to your servers using WebHooks whenever a channel is created (at least one person is subscribed to the channel globally), or closed (when there are no longer any subscribers on the channel).
