If youʼre running Ubuntu 16.04, then I strongly suspect youʼre using
the Xft font backend (C-u C-x = on a character will show 'xft:' just
before the font name). Emacs with Xft refuses to use 'Noto Color
Emoji', because it causes crashes. (you can check the value of
'face-ignored-fonts')

Solution: upgrade to a system where you can build Emacs with the ftcr
backend, which is FreeType + Cairo, and then you can use Noto Color Emoji.
