If you are able to search through the archives, I posted a workaround
which works similar to what you want.  Basically, you pass the
notification number in the notification command and have the
notification command call a script.  This script checks the
notification number and if it is 1 then exit, if it is 2 or higher
then send an email/page/etc.

This is oversimplifying it, but you should get the idea.
