Look in the documentation chapter 'Monitoring service and host cluster'. There you will find the easiest solution to your needs. Using check_cluster or a command you write by yourself, you just have to define a (virtual) host for your group of servers, set max_check_attempts to 1 (to have the notification sent immediately), and define the contact_groups for this host to your second notification group.
