Well, I guess you must:

a) make sure you are sending your notifications to the right host. If
you are using only one computer I guess you must send your
notification/traps to 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1'

b) there are (at least) 2 versions ("styles") of traps: v1 and v2c. v1
traps are 'traps'. V2 traps are 'notifications' (well... maybe this is
not 100% cientifically correct). You must take care about what kind of
traps you send to what kind of trap receivers.

Maybe you should configure snmptrapd to receive all kinds of
notifications/traps arriving from all possible hosts, on all possible
interfaces.... I don't know how this is done but the "snmpconf" program
should be an excelent start point. Also read the manuals... specifically
"man snmptrapd" and "man snmptrapd.conf"...
