Add status display as optional #182

As a developer it would be nice to be able to disable the display of the 
extension icon in the default view so that it only displays after you pull down 
on the widget. This would be useful for extensions that do tasks and don't 
explicitly need to give the user information.

Yeah, been thinking about this. Definitely a possibility, but I'd like to avoid 
surprising the user too much. The fact that Android notifications can do this 
does help.

A use case for this in my situation is with an alarm. I only want to show the 
next alarm time in the status when it's under 24 hours from the alarm time. A 
user could still expand the widget and see the next alarm time.

For example, an alarm is set Monday - Friday for 5:30 AM. The status would 
always say "5:30 am" even on weekends, even though it wouldn't be applicable 
until Sunday night.

If the status only could be hidden, a user wouldn't see "5:30 am" until Sunday 
but they could expand the widget, during the weekend to see that an alarm is 
set for Monday without opening the app or using other widgets.

Currently I will need to hide the entire entry until Sunday for a user to see.
