The notification looks right to me. A template can be valid hosts or services according to nagios, as long as all required values for a host config are present in the template config. If they are not all there, then the config is allowed as long as it has a register = 0.
Your template called router has all required values. To make it so that "router" does not send a PING notification, you would remove "router" as the host_name for your router host template.
