If you check out the MSDN article here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj662938(v=vs.105).aspx , you'll see that it is possible to add extra information to the toast that you can use in your app!

Deep linking to a screen using toast notifications You can use the Param element or NavigateUri property, depending on how you're creating the toast notification, to deep link to a specific screen in your app. Here are the allowed formats. Any string used for the following examples must be 256 characters or less.

/page1.xaml – Defines the screen to navigate to in the app when the app starts. The string must begin with a "/".

/page1.xaml?value1=1234 &value2=9876 – Defines the screen to navigate to when the app starts, along with name/value pairs of info. The string must begin with a "/".

?value1=1234 &value2=9876 – Contains name/value pairs of info passed to the default start screen of the app. The string must begin with a "?".
