Just have a notification that says there are new assignments, rather than the specific assignment name. #165

Additionally, we should keep track of the assignments that we display this for (for all time), and not re-did play them. This will prevent the user being bombarded with notifications.

@reustonium thoughts?

I agree, to me this is a core difference between pinging the server for 'whats new', and true push notifications that happen in real time.

A slightly different approach is to 'stack' the notification like gmail (and others) doez. https://developer.android.com/training/wearables/notifications/stacks.html

I really do like the stack approach that gmail uses. But yea, I agree ... it's more of a 'there is new stuff!' rather than a push.

@dkd903 How is this done in the iOS version? I seem to remember this is implemented as "you have n new notifications", right?
