I had a similar problem when wanted to run vlc in a crontab. The solution 
was to execute in crontab the following command:

env DISPLAY=:0 /home/your_username/full_path_goes_here/play_something.sh

play_something.sh contained actual bash command to run vlc with path to an 
mp3 file to play.

This way vlc get the required environment variable set by desktop session.
