If you are using the default XI notification commands, you can modify then and the following PDF document has instructions to do that.

But, this will modify all of the notifications and there is not a way to just modify Downtime notifications.
They are just standard notifications like all of the others.

The only option is to write a script that interprets all of the notifications and when it see a downtime, do something different and then replace that new command with the existing notification commands.
