    .AddText("Notification text.")
    .SetGroup("Notification group")
    .BuildNotification();

AppNotificationManager.Default.Show(notification);

The resulting XML payload:

<toast>
    <visual>
        <binding template='ToastGeneric'>
            <text>Notification text.</text>
        </binding>

</toast>

An example of removing all of the notifications from Notification Center by group.

await AppNotificationManager.Default.RemoveByGroupAsync("Notification group");
