Alarm icon not being shown at the top status bar

[tibbi]

On Android 13+ (not sure about exact version) if an alarm is scheduled properly, it should show a top status bar icon. It is not shown in our cases, thus making it less reliable.

@tibbi Setting the alarm icon in the status bar is not part of the Android SDK, only firmware apps are able to do it by directly interfacing with their proprietary roms and firmwares.

I tried a couple of these out, but all of them seem to be deprecated and not working

I also installed the clock app by Google on my Redmi phone and setting the alarm on that does not show the alarm icon in the status bar, but setting it through the Redmi clock app shows the icon

Another way around this would be to show a constant notification with a clock icon

ok, lets keep it then
