 The Launcher icon alert animation should repeat with decreasing frequency until user clicks on app icon

Currently when a application issues an alert command to the Launcher and the Launcher is hidden, the icon (but on the Launcher) pops out on to the desktop and wiggles a single time. If the Launcher is hidden and the user does not spot this single alert, there is currently nothing visible on the screen to notify the user that the application is sending a alert signal.

Desired Resolution:

- When a application issues an alert and the Launcher is hidden, the application icon should pop out and wiggle with decreasing frequency for a total of 32 minutes.
- The application icon pops out at the following intervals after the alert is issued: 1 minute, 2 minutes, 4 minutes, 8 minutes, 16 minutes, 32 minutes.
- As soon as the user reveals the Launcher, all applications that have current outstanding alerts should do a short wiggle inside the Launcher. The current outstanding alerts are then all cancelled and will not appear again.
- When the Launcher is visible, application alerts should should be indicated by a short wobble (in addition to the existing blue pips). This short wobble should not repeat
