The most likely reason for the lack of alarm-triggered emails is that email settings in vCenter Administration are not configured. Email settings are configurable in vCenter Update Manager, but they only allow you to enter an email address to notify the recipient when new patches have been downloaded, and not when a patch has failed to be applied.
