Great.
If you want to receive nagios notification just define your email id in contacts.cfg file
Code:

define contact{
contact_name nagiosadmin
use generic-contact
alias Nagios Admin
email nagios@localhost <= enter your email id here
}
define contact{
contact_name nagiosadmin ; Short name of user
use generic-contact ; Inherit default values from generic-contact template (defined above)
alias Nagios Admin ; Full name of user
