@michael yeah so all of that make using the alarm api for this seem like
the wrong approach, and we should provide a proper timer api.

For example see http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/CountDownTimer.html 
or perhaps 
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSTimer_Class/
or in the meantime uses Qt timers 
http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/timers.html

I would think to start requiring the app in the foreground is ok for the
timer use case, but yeah would like something fancier

The bug should still be fixed.
