Is it possible to create a custom toast template ?

I don't want to use the 8 toast template provided by default .

If possible how do i do it ?

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

Answer 2

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 ?

Answer 3

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.
