You will need to have a physical cable installed from the device to your Nagios server and then you will need to have software on the Nagios server that will allow you to send SMS messages through the Android device. This may be complicated by the fact that you need to get drivers and protocols from the device manufacturer.

Then, all you need to do is write a script which will send the notification through the wire connecting your Nagios server to the device and send the appropriate SMS message to the appropriate people.

The problem is that you're working in a VM and getting the mobile device to properly connect to and work with Nagios is going to be complicated, I'm sure.

It might be easier to have a networked SMS gateway that you put on your network and then use it via API calls (like URLs) to send messages directly. These are more expensive, but easier to use and more reliable than a mobile device.

What are you using for virtualization? Based off of that, you should be able to assign a USB port to a specific VM.

I have Hyper V 2012 and My Ubuntu server (Where Nagios is Installed) is Vm over it.

This is getting out of scope in regards to what we support, as we are here for Nagios. If you need further assistance with Hyper V please contact them for support.
