Nagios will trigger an alert automatically when a host or a service goes to "non-OK" state. Notifications will be sent when a host/service remains in a hard, non-OK state, and the time specified by the <notification_interval> option in the host or service definition has passed since the last notification was sent out (for that specified host or service).

I'm not sure exactly what you want to do, but if this is for a training exercise, you can also use passive checks and a cron job to simply run the "check_dummy" module with a CRITICAL result upon demand or via cron. This way, you can control exactly when the services go into CRITICAL or OK states, and control notifications accordingly.
