<p>Have you found yourself in a situation where you wanted a <em>strong</em> reminder to something someday in the future?!</p><p>A reminder wouldn't really do since it would just give you a notification, an e-mail, or a small <em>pling</em> which can get lost in the abyss of notifications we receive every day.</p><p>Have you thought, "Wish I could set an alarm for a future day/time"?</p><p>Don't worry, RemindMe! Got you covered.</p><p>PS: <code>SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW</code> permission is used because Android wouldn't let me start an activity from the background. Hence, I display a transparent system overlay for a very small duration (500 ms), then open the alarm activity as soon as the overlay gets drawn, and close the overlay later.</p>
