As I know PayPal notification service doesn't send 'failed' message. So nothing will be updated and no message will be sent.
nopCommerce sets 'Completed' order status when shipping or payment status is changed (based on PayPal return codes). Have a look at OrderProcessingService.CheckOrderStatus() method

Go to admin area > content management > message templates > 'OrderPlaced.CustomerNotification' details page. Untick 'Is active'. Save the template.
