MIT App Inventor 2: May I / How to place alarms in the Android notification area?
<p>With <code>MIT Inventor 2</code>,
may I create a <code>Notification Area Notification</code> caused by an Alarm, which is placed in the notification area of an Android smartphone?
So that I may create a <code>silent alarm</code>, as standard with Android apps?
And if so, how to do it?</p>

<p>See <code>Requirement #5</code> <a href="http://github.com/aporter/coursera-android-labs/blob/master/DailySelfie/Lab8b-DailySelfie/Lab-DailySelfie.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">in this document</a> ( describing an Android programmming task, which is not intended to be implemented with a code generator, of course )
My research:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>With the discontinued <code>MIT Inventor 1</code>, it was obviously possible to create notifications, which can be viewed by pulling down the status bar. See "AlertMe: Texting in the background, when app is not running".
<a href="http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/content/alertme.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/content/alertme.html</a>
I didn´t find a corresponding tutorial for <code>MIT Inventor 2</code>...</p></li>
<li><p>With <code>MIT Inventor 2</code>, you may create Notifications, 
which are displayed immediately by modale windows, 
or which are pushed to Android logfiles, invisible to ordinary Android smartphone users. 
I didn´t find any option to create a "silent alarm" visible just in the notification area. Am I right?!</p></li>
</ol>

<p>So is this maybe a "lost feature" of version1, not available with version2, so one of the very-raw drawbacks?</p>

<p>As there are now frameworks based on <code>MIT Inventor</code> like <code>Punya</code> and <code>Ai2LiveComplete</code>, does any of it cover this "silent messaging"?</p>
