Notifications not sending out

I'm using a pretty stock Nagios install. I can post parts of my configs if 
necessary. When I use the default 'host' format and the machine goes down, I 
get a notification.

I cannot, under any circumstance, get a notification from a service to send 
out. I see nothing in the logs saying it even knew it should send a 
notification.

I have this:
define service{
         use                             generic-service ;
         host_name                       gateway
         service_description             DNS
         is_volatile                     0
         check_period                    24x7
         max_check_attempts              3
         normal_check_interval           5
         retry_check_interval            1
         contact_groups                  admins
         notification_interval           120
         notification_period             24x7
         notification_options            w,u,c,r
         check_command                   check_dns
         }

notifications_enabled is 1 in the generic-service
The period is 24x7, it should give a warning email, it's sending to admins 
which is the same group when a machine cannot be pinged... but it doesnt 
even try... anyone have any idea?
