Host and ping service notification

Dear All,
 
    I have configured my hosts with the check-host-alive with check_ipmc and all of them have also the ping service.
 
Now I receive the notifications when the ping is down, but not the notifications for the host down, and I do not understand why. Often the ping do not go down for long, maybe it is not enought to put the host down. The second question is what's the real point to have the ping service configured on all the hosts if the host check is done via icmp.
 
Thanks you for your answers and best regards,
