fyi, what we've implemented for now is the following (in silo 9): - calendar notifications will vibrate, instead of playing a sound by default. Calendar notifications can be disabled in Settings->Notifications - calendar notifications will not be displayed for events that you're marked as "Not Attending" (i.e. after google calendar sync) - calendar notifications will show up in the Notifications menu in case you miss then - calendar events will remain in the date/time indicator for the duration of the event and not disappear immediately after the event occurs like they current do
After this land, the next step is we plan to implement the extended Notifications panel in System Settings: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Notification This will allow user to choose sound, vibrate, notification bubbles, etc on a per app basis to control notifcations. Once that panel is done we'll cut over Calendar notifications to use it, in conjunction with the work Charles and his team are doing on the notification backend. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to indicator-datetime in Ubuntu.

You can't find it in the "Notifications" area of System Settings, and it uses its own notification sound regardless of what is set in "Sound". Also, reminders are not muted when the phone is in silent mode (I guess it's related). I'm on bq Aquaris, r20 and with the latest calendar-app. --- --- --- --- UX Comment: Calendar Notifications need to be overhauled: -- Calendar Notifications are displayed for too brief a period and should conform to the same timing as other notifications. -- Calendar Notifications are not currently appearing in the notification tray within indicators and should be. -- Calendar Notification title is misleading ('Alarm') and should make clear that the notification relates to a calendar event ('Event') and not a alarm-clock event. -- Calendar Notification's should NOT override silent mode (unlike clock-alarms) although the notification should still be displayed, appear in the notification within indicators and cause the device to vibrate (if enabled) - This is accepted/common behaviour for notifications of this type on mobile.
