Alarming timer should turn on screen and show on top of lockscreen, like alarm clock

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Feature request. You know how when the alarm clock goes off, it turns the 
screen on and displays a messagebox above the lock screen to snooze or dismiss 
the alarm? Kitchen Timer could really use something like that. That would be 
very useful, as it saves me the time and irritation (and possibly 
embarrassment, in the right situation) of unlocking my phone while a loud timer 
is going off. Once the timer has gone off, the user should be able to 
acknowledge it in minimal time.

I honestly haven't looked at the Android API enough to know if this is 
possible, but given that the clock app does it, I would think third party apps 
could too.

I bet this would help a lot for those people that can't figure out how to turn 
it off and end up giving you 1-star reviews - a big popup on top of the screen 
is hard to miss.  (The little instruction popups are easy to miss, especially 
since they vanish - and something that lets you *do* is better than something 
that tells you to *do elsewhere* anyway.)

But I'd appreciate it too - it's a pain to unlock the screen when there's an 
alarm screaming at me.

Thanks for the app!

But i never lock my phone so basically just activate the screen, show the timer 
and let us dismiss it 

Thanks
