[RFE] add ability to use alternative notification channel #40

It might help to use alarm channel in situation that system is too strict so the reminder is not fired up using standard notification channel. Eg. On my updated MS-A320 the reminder sound does not fire up sometimes. Calendar Notifications Plus app [1] is able to do that and it seems to be much reliable for me.

The STREAM_ALARM may be activated in case you've adjsut "Ignore device audio profile" advanced setting

I've checked the option but I do not see where the the stream can be changed. Or is done automatically? In case of the Calendar Notifications Plus, there's alarm icon as a side effect so I guess it is not the same.

Yes it is

Calendar Notifications Plus, there's alarm icon as a side effect so I guess it is not the same.

Most of all it is because app uses AlarmManager to sceduler notification. MNR app uses JobScheduler. However AlarmManager has been used in previous versions.

If you experience problems with reminder try to activate "Keep device awake" option.

But "Keep device awake" will prevent CPU to go to deep sleep I guess, which will cause a lot of battery drain.

ok, I played with it a bit and I noticed that Samsung had to change always on display so it presents to application as screen on. So if I let MNR to notify even with screen on, it looks it works.
