You *could* write a new notification command.  That would be the most
elegant solution, probably, but a quick-and-dirty "use what's there"
solution would be to create two users -- one for email, one for paging.

Then for the paging user, use:

        service_notification_options    c,r
        host_notification_options       d,r

And for the email user, use:

        service_notification_options    w,u,r

Then make sure both users are members of the appropriate contact group
and you should be in business.
