That's a vague question. Do you mean you only want notifications during
certain hours of the day?

Define a time_period :
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#timeperiod

Apply it as the notification_period for the host or service :
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#host,
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#service


Or do you want to delay notifications by a certain number of minutes
(only works for services):

Set your max_check_attempts, normal_check_interval and
retry_check_interval to appropriate numbers. For example, 

Normal_check_interval	5 #minutes
Retry_check_interval	3 #minutes
Max_check_attempts	5 #try 5 times total

Results in about a 15 minute delay from the first CRITICAL check result
until notification, presuming the service is critical for the entire
interval.
