No - The simple reason is that magma is molten rock, and the Sun is a ball of gas.

The different layers of gas that comprise the Sun may have similar behavior to magma, such as convection currents, but i think magma is only found on rocky planets (unlike Jupiter and other gas giants) where conditions are suitable.

Not all rocky planets have magma either, E.G. Mars. Mars is solid rock and (maybe) ice and consequentially has no magma, active volcanoes, plate tectonics, earthquakes or magnetic fields.

The sun does not have fire or lava really. It is a giant ball of gas that is so hot it glows.

No. The sun is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium gasses. It is far hotter than lava as well. at the temperatures found in the sun, rock would exist as a vapor rather than a liquid.

The Sun has solar flares, which are jets of plasma that shoot out from the surface. However, they don't look anything like the volcanoes on Earth.
