I have never been called, but I might have and just didn't know it.
In our county, the judge issues a notice for you to show up and explain to him why you weren't there. You'll be personally served with that (called a "show cause" hearing).

If you want to ignore that and not show up, then there will be a warrant for your arrest for contempt for not following court orders, then you'll get to explain it in cuffs, maybe with a hefty fine or 30 day jail sanction if your excuse is lame enough.
