You can always enable or disable Toast Notifications in Windows 8 completely. But if you wish to only change the display time, open the Charms Bar > Settings > PC Settings. Click on Ease of Access.

Select the time you want the notifications to display from the drop-down menu under Show notifications for.

That is all you need to do!
