Another possible way is if you have limitations in the Sonarqube server;

1. Create quality gate in Sonarqube based on your profile https://docs.sonarqube.org/latest/user-guide/quality-gates/
2. Use following plugin to break your pipeline in case of code were not passed the gate https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=SimondeLang.sonar-buildbreaker
3. Create mail notification in Azure Devops to send notification when build failed because of Sonarqube quality gate; https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/notifications/about-notifications?view=azure-devops#team-and-project-level-notifications

And as shown below you will see the reason about why pipeline build failed in the mail
