Only show "App is enabled" when necessary #15

Blocked by #2. It is important that the app survives reboots and updates before we stop always showing this.

Requested on Google Play:

I would give a 5 star if the beep sound is removed as it sounds bad & also the notification of the app that is "app is enabled" always stay which is annoying. Developer please update.

This would need a bit more work, but should definitely be possible.

"WHY ISN'T MY APP WORKING IN THE BACKGROUND ALL THE DOCS SAY IT SHOULD"

Turns out while running your app from Android Studio, swiping it away in the overview screen force-stops it instead of backgrounding it. Force-stopped applications cannot receive broadcasts.

Thanks, Google.

I moved a lot of code around so that no activity is needed to start all the things anymore. Everything can be started from a broadcast intent now, so we no longer need an always listening service.

So, I consider this fixed in 38dddd6.
