ScheduledNotifications

The both ScheduledNotification classes (Alarm and Reminder) inherit from the base classes ScheduledNotification and ScheduledAction. The difference is that when we want to send contextual information to the application that created the notification we should use Reminder, on the other hand if we need to play some notification sound we should use the Alarm.
