Nagios expects this kind of notification granularity.

Nagios will not do this unless you specifically configure it to do so.  
Nagios has been told that it should.

Are they service notifications or host notifications? Is there  
anything else unusual about the notifications or their content? What  
does nagios.log show related to these notifications?

Who are the host contacts? Please post the entire host and service  
definitions, including the templates with the important bits. You  
might want to grab the definitions from objects.cache.
