It's all we have atm. I could imagine it as a timer api but it would
probably require better precision (it's off up to 5 seconds in some
cases atm) and some other fixes (like calling back the originating app
on clicking the notification, instead of the clock app). Also it has the
side effect that such timers will show up as alarms in the datetime
indicator and iirc the clock app. Both of them are probably questions
for design. On the other hand, a proper timer api could offer better
features I think. Depends if we want to allow, e.g. focusing/resuming
the app when the timer is due so other things could be done instead of
just ringing a notification.
