[Feature]: Making Obsidian foreground on reminder time

[Lippiece]

Describe the bug

I can't see the non-system notifications nor hear any sounds. I can open the app and see the popup though.

Expected Behavior

Notification should be visible and/or make some sound.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up a reminder.
2. Minimize the Obsidian.
3. Wait until its time.
4. Don't get any popups or sounds.

Operating system

Windows

You might need to check 'Use system notification' in settings

That will not solve the problem with non-system notifications.

Same problem happened to me on Android. However on Windows notifications do show up, but only if obsidian is opened in the background

It is not supported. https://github.com/uphy/obsidian-reminder#faq

I don't feel this is needed because system notification is suitable for such cases.

I have to remind that Windows notification is only dismissable, not like the MacOS's, as I remember. You can't reschedule it, so it's not really suitable.

ah, yes. Notification action's(such as remind me later features) are only supported in macOS. https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/notification#event-action-macos

I found toastXml for windows but it seems to hard to implement.
