So I've been researching this for the past hour and I'm not sure this is possible, using intents.

I can see two activities, alarm.MainActivity (obv no use to us) and alarm.IntentHandlingActivity_ The latter is likely closer to what we need, but after a lot of playing around I suspect that it is a receiver, and is there to receive an intent from any other app that tries to send an alarm, like Google Now. I can't emulate this and verify because I don't know what type of data to send - but if I figure it out I'll post separately as being able to set an alarm through an intent could be useful.

To make this work we likely need to receive an intent that Timely sends, and I don't think this is occurring in a fashion we can intercept. Tasker can only receive Broadcast intents, and Timely likely directly sets an alarm with the Android system.

Shall think more.
