see the original language here:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/notifications.html
Note: Notifications about host or service recoveries are only sent out
if a notification was sent out for the original problem. It doesn't
make sense to get a recovery notification for something you never knew
was a problem. 

And:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/escalations.html
If, after three problem notifications, a recovery notification is sent
out for the service, who gets notified?  The recovery is actually the
fourth notification that gets sent out.  However, the escalation code
is  smart enough to realize that only those people who were notified
about  the problem on the third notification should be notified about
the  recovery.  In this case, the nt-admins and managers contact
groups would be notified of the recovery.

(Although, I believe I've either misunderstood the implications of
that statement, or run into misbehaviours in that area myself...)
