The timer code uses org-notify which in turn uses org-show-notification.
The latter goes through a sequence of steps, until one succeeds:
It first checks whether org-show-notification-handler is defined and
either calls it (if a function) or executes it (if a string); so you
can define it to be something that does what you want.
If that is not defined, it checks whether notifications-notify is bound
and is a function, and calls it if so (in my case at least, it's not
defined).
It then checks whether there is an executable called notify-send on the
system and if so, it executes it (that's what happens in my case with
Fedora 22 Linux). The appt popup code you quote also uses notify-send
(assuming that X is running). BTW, I'm not sure what happens if you execute
notify-send on the console.
Finally, as a last resort and if everything else has failed, it calls
message to put the notification in the echo area.
HTH.
