I have fixed this issue as below:
Wrong config:
------------------------------------
define contact{
name generic-contact
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r
host_notification_options d,u,r
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-sms
,notify-service-by-email
host_notification_commands notify-service-by-sms
,notify-host-by-email
register 0
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Correct config:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Code:
define contact{
name generic-contact
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r
host_notification_options d,u,r
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-sms
,notify-service-by-email
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-sms
,notify-host-by-email
register 0
}

Ah, that would do the trick. Thanks for letting us know how you resolved this.
