Notification problem

This is my problem, I'm not getting ping/icmp notifications for either
adown host or critical ranges.  I can find multiple instances of
critical ping service alerts for packet loss/RTT without a corresponding
notification.

And on hosts that are down, I'm not getting a notification that the host
is down, either.  If it's http or ntp (for example) have problems I'm
golden, I get notifications galore - but not ping/icmp/host down/up.
