No, the system provided templates are the only ones available.

You need to combine the messages on the server before sending them.
See the Toast notification overview and the Guidelines for toast notifications (Windows Store apps) (Windows)
Combine multiple related updates that occur within a short period of time into a single toast notification. For instance, if you have three new updates that arrive at the same time, the app or app server should raise a single notification that states that there are three new updates rather than three separate notifications.

what if i have to group two or more notifications into a single notification .
ex:in the Skype metro app we receive separate notification for each message from the same person. I would like to avoid that and display all the message from the person into a single notification
how can i achieve that ?
