for reciving notifications you must have to stop/start the services or 
host nogios monitoring, coz nogios only send notifications when some 
warning or alerts occur.

Do check from command line that your sendmail is working by sending email...

mail -s Test yourname at yourdomin.com


Check tail -f /var/log/maillog fail for any possible clue why nogios not 
sending notifications.

  Lastly if all the above showing nothing, then do paste lines from 
"misccommands.cfg for "notify-by-email-blah" .
