The way we do this is to use a user-defined macro in the host definition like so:


define host{
     use                     aps-launcher
     host_name               APS-P52

     parents                 aps52
     __PARENT_HOST           aps52
}

Then you can expand expand it, $_PARENT_HOST$, in the notification. 
Unfortunately this means you need to define the parent in 2 places.  Would be 
nice if there was built-in macro for this, but I don't think there is.
