none for "PING service". PING alert is sent out for Host after specified
max_check_attempts. I want to be notified for the PING service (defined
above) as well. I noticed that service state changes to Hard to Soft and
then immediately to Hard bypassing the max_check_attemps and does not
generate any alert. Am I missing something or is it a bug?

If so, the bug would be that you receive any service alerts at all. When any
service on a host returns a non-OK result, nagios immediately checks the
host. When a host check returns a non-OK result, all notifications for
services on that host are suppressed.
