Extend the applications to be AgentX subagents, using the information in
    http://www.net-snmp.org/tutorial/tutorial-5/toolkit/demon
as a template.  In particular, take a look at the example-demon.c
file, mentioned in the second half.  You won't need to implement the
MIB module (unless you want to manage the applications directly), but
the same basic framework should support sending traps as well.

Thanks for your immediate response, Dave.
But I cannot modify the applications, I just have to provide them a function
(i.e. void snmp_notify(char *message) ) accessible by a library.

Could I write a sub-agent which provides this method for all the
applications?
Is a sub-agent listening in a socket a better idea?
