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.
