Is the service problem getting resolved before 1) the 10 second 
notification delay and 2) the next active check of the service?  If so, 
there would be no problem notification in the first place, so you 
wouldn't get a recovery notification.  Recovery notifications only go 
out if Nagios sent a notification about a problem.
