** Description changed:
A cousin of bug #1354406
Some of the early testers are hitting a use case that we didn't account
for, that of multiple alarms set for the same time.
Indicator-datetime currently tries to pull up notifications for, and
play sounds for, both notifications. That's happening by accident and is
clearly not the right approach.
I can think of a couple of approaches we might take:
-- SOLUTION --
If 2 or more alarms have been triggered, the notification at any time will
display:
- Title: 2 Alarms
- Subtitle: [Label 1] 10:00, [Label 2] 10:01
+ Title: 2 Alarms
+ Subtitle: [Label 1] 10:00, [Label 2] 10:01
The sound of the first alarm will be played. If they have the same time,
the one that has been created first.
+
+ ------ UX Comment ------
+
+ Use cases:
+
+ 1 - User sets 2 alarms, at the same time, with same attributes (repeat,
+ label, sound)
+
+ Expected behaviour: Clock app / alarm manager recognise a conflict of
+ newly set alarm time with previously set alarm and rejects it if it’s
+ found same.
+
+ 2 - User sets 2 alarms, at the same time, with (one or more) different
+ attributes (repeat, label, sound)
+
+ Expected behaviour: the alarm that was set in the first place is the one
+ that goes off (with correspondent sound and label) and the second one is
+ fired as a notification bubble.
+
+ 3 - User sets 2 alarms, at different times, even if the difference is 1
+ minute. Then first alarm goes off and second alarm does it one minute
+ after.
+
+ 4 - Several notifications fired at the same time:
+
+ Desired behaviour described here: Page 35: Notifications queuing and
+ flood prevention

+
+ "In general, applications can fire only one notification at a time, but
+ multiple applications can fire their notification simultaneously. All
+ notifications should be treated as if they are in a queue and will be
+ handled sequentially according to their fire time (in a FIFO manner)."
