I forgot to write I'm using Zenoss 4.2.5 on Centos 6.8 server.

Any help will be appreciated :)

Bear in mind that your notification command will run on the Zenoss server unless you embed in your script something to run stuff over ssh but that also will be fraught. 

Does your command:
/usr/bin/aplay /opt/zenoss/include/media/service_critical.wav

work if you run it from a command line on the Zenoss server?  If not, you need to work on this step first.

You should also assume that a script run by a notification command has effectively no shell environment - PATH, LIBPATH, etc so I would include anything like that explicitly in the script.

The notification is run by the zenactiond daemon so go and look at its logfile - you should be able to find the attempt to run that notification and you may get debugging help from any failure message.

What version of Zenoss are you on??

Cheers,
Jane
