I've been having a similar problem and have thought about the solution but haven't gotten around to implementing it yet. Mark Powell's suggestion to rely on the service check notification is absolutely right when you want to ignore brief bounces or lost pings. I'm going to do just that, but I will still have a host notification enabled too...
I'll configure things so that the on-call engineers get the ping service notification rather than the host notification - they don't want to know about servers briefly bounced. The host notifications I'll send only to me by email so I will know the next day which servers have bounced overnight. I'm hoping that will bring me the best of both worlds.
