Yes... what I do:

I don't use the supplied example commands but rather created my own
notification system. The notification command, when invoked, calls the
way how to notify the contact from an LDAP backend. It's been lots of
work (and is not yet finished or even documented) but it allows more
flexibility.

The simple solution would be shell script which, by checking the
parameters for contact name, service name and whatever you like
determines how to notify. A database backend is useful for easier
configuration but not extacly necessary.
