Sorry, I set this up a long time ago, so I gave you the wrong info,
After searching my configuration files, I found this:

;; Update appt list and dbus appt notification
; Get appointments for today
(defun my-org-agenda-to-appt ()
  (interactive)
  (setq appt-time-msg-list nil)
  (let ((org-deadline-warning-days 0))    ;; will be automatic in org 5.23
        (org-agenda-to-appt)))

; Run once, activate and schedule refresh
(my-org-agenda-to-appt)
(appt-activate t)
(run-at-time "00:01" nil 'my-org-agenda-to-appt)

; 5 minute warnings
(setq appt-message-warning-time 15)
(setq appt-display-interval 5)

; Update appt each time agenda opened.
(add-hook 'org-finalize-agenda-hook 'my-org-agenda-to-appt)

; Setup zenify, we tell appt to use window, and replace default function
(setq appt-display-format 'window)
(setq appt-disp-window-function (function my-appt-disp-window))

(defun my-appt-disp-window (min-to-app new-time msg)
  (save-window-excursion
    (shell-command
     (concat "/home/hoor/bin/org-appt-notify '" msg "'  '" min-to-app "'&")
     nil nil)
    )
  )


and here is the content of "org-appt-notify"


#!/bin/sh
SOUND="/home/hoor/GNUstep/Library/WindowMaker/Sounds/Kopete_Received.ogg"
ICON="/home/hoor/GNUstep/Library/Icons/apps/system-config-date.tif"

ogg123 "$SOUND"
notify-send --icon="$ICON" "APPOINTMENT" "$1\ndue in $2 mins."
