Increasing privacy/discretion of the app and its appearance #51

Currently the app symbol as well as the notification clearly reveal the apps purpose to schedule medication doses. As this might be a very private and sensitive issue, it would be good to have an option that would change the symbol as well the text of the notification so that someone cannot recognize the relation to medications easily with one glance.

A neutral text such as "reminder" would be sufficient to prevent accidental leakage of sensitive information.

i wish i could point to a simpler app for code example, but all that comes to mind is Signal app which has privacy options like showing notification including incoming message, or just sender name, or just that there is a message.

I would also suggest adding FLAG_SECURE as this prevents the contents of the app from appearing in the Android task switcher.

There are also the inbuilt android controls over notification content (I'm not sure if Signal uses these) which show different information on the lock screen (but not when the device is unlocked).
