Bad notification behavior when using multiple timers

Hi! This is a really nice clock app and I'm grateful that you decided to continue support for it.

If you run multiple timers at the same time, the first timer started is shown in the notification, even if there are other timers that were started later but are expiring sooner. Then when the timer in the notification expires, the notification goes away, even if there are other timers still running.

The notification should show the soonest ending timer, maybe with text like "(label) and (number) other timers are running", and it should be recreated after a timer expires until there are no more timers running.

I think it's justified to add this small amount of complexity to a "simple" mobile tool because this is the behavior expected from any other clock app. Even the AOSP clock handles timers the better way.

Yeah, this surprised me too.

Doesn't make sense to only show the first timer you started when you have another that will expire before it.
