Alarm Opens Main Activity

[jones139]

The design intent was always that when an alarm initiates, the main activity screen is brought to the foreground so that the user can see what is causing the alarm etc.

In the more recent versions of Android, this seems to be broken and you just see a toast message saying it failed to open the main app.

But in older versions of android it still works and opens the main activity.

Now this is annoying for us because we have just started using an old 'recycled' Android tablet as an OpenSeizureDetector alarm (using Network Data Source) and VLC displaying a video camera. This means that when there is an alarm the video display is pushed to the background and OSD is displayed instead. We do not want this - we want the video to be displayed so we can see what the issue is.

Commit 33ada82 introduces a settings checkbox to disable the main activity display on alarm.
