** Description changed:

  Imagine a scenario where you have a calendar event or a clock alarm to
  go of at 10:00. If you get a call at the same time, then obviously the
  call gets the highest priority and the alarm or calendar audible
  notification is suppressed by the system. So a phone user can actually
  miss the event.
  
  This can be resolved by turning the alarm icon shown in the indicator to
  blue similar to messages to indicate that an alarm or event was missed
  by the user.
  
- -------------------------------------------
  
- Desired solution:
+ ——— UX Comment ———
  
- The alarm icon turns its state to active like notification
- center/messages indicator as suggested in the bug description.
+ I can think of two possibilities for the resolution of this bug:
+ 
+ 1) We change the alarm icon in the status bar for alarm-missed icon
+ (https://drive.google.com/drive/u/1/folders/0BzbnWoHmYF3ablBITVByRnpzdEk
+ 
+ 2) Once the incoming call event has finished or the user has acted on it
+ by answering the call, we fire a notification bubble (as well as it’s
+ associated auditory feedback) to communicate the missed event. If the
+ user doesn’t act on the incoming call event, the alarm goes off after
+ incoming call timeout.
+ 
+ --> My recommendation would be to use a combination of both.
