This is a Lollipop-specific question, since the API has changed. To find out how to do this on earlier versions, see related question:
I would like to know how to turn on / off the system Alarm icon in the status bar as shown in this image:
Timely Alarm Clock controls this icon on Lollipop as of release 1.3. Prior to that release, the code was using private APIs as detailed in the related question.
The new technique they use works on an unrooted Nexus 5 running v5.0.1.
It looks like there is a lot more the this new API than just changing the icon. The lock screen now also displays the time I have set the alarm for.
An alarm icon will be displayed on the status bar if you have set up an alarm or reminder in a third-party app. Go to the app's settings screen and check whether alarms, reminders, or similar features have been enabled. If so, disable them and try again.
All replies. Yes you can. Open the Clock app, and switch off the alarms that are activated. If you have Bedtime enabled, then turn that feature off.
AlarmManager has a new api to set this.
AlarmManager.setAlarmClock (AlarmManager.AlarmClockInfo info, PendingIntent operation)
If you do this, the alarm shows on notification bar and LockScreen .
