I don't know, because I never had such a situation, but I guess that, 
depending on your setup, all the important state information is saved, 
and that obviously includes state, notification number and interval and 
last one sent. And, most probably, lots of other interesting stuff, too. 
So, in short, I'd assume that it does.

A simple work around would be to manually inject a passive result that 
indicates a good state, and then reload Nagios with the modified 
configuration.
