I couldn't get it to work that way, either.  Instead, I defined a 
service escalation that activates on the first notification.  Something 
like this might work:

define serviceescalation {
        host_name               linux-server
        service_description     1_proc_sshd
        contact_groups          management
        first_notification      1
        last_notification       0
        escalation_options      w,c,r
}

I assign services to hosts with hostgroups, so I have a hostgroup_name 
in my escalation definition instead of just a host_name.
