My site is www.example.com and Bing Webmaster Tools keeping telling me to submit a sitemap for example.com, so it is possible to stop Bing stop bothering me the example.com?

This functionality doesn't exist for Bing Webmaster Tools.
It considers example.com as your domain, whatever the subdomain you can use (www or something else). It's not a big deal, just take care of submit a sitemap.xml and choosing your preferred version by redirecting on to another on server side. If you use Apache as a web server, you can use these lines in your .htaccess (it redirects no-www to www version):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [L,R=301]

1I always forward example.com to www.example.com, just not sure why Bing is asking for example.com/sitemap.xml.. – Howard Oct 25 '13 at 16:20

If you already forward
example.comtowww.example.com, it's perfect. Just don't take into account the message from Bing, it just asks you a sitemap for website you configured. – Zistoloen Oct 25 '13 at 20:11
