Finally I have found the problem wasn´t nagios config. Everything there was 
ok. On definitions I dont overwrite anything about notification and I know I 
am just notificating critical events, I want it in that way.  Also I have 
notifications enabled on nagios.cfg


The problem was that smtp server I am using for relay has a "special" config. 
I had to add a line in the file /etc/postfix/sendercanonical for the user 
nagios and everything is working fine now.

many thanks for your help.
