States for Android system notification #53

Description

@GBKS

On Android, the application uses a system notification to "stay alive" so the operating system doesn't shut it down, a that would interrupt syncing. The notification can reflect the current state of the block clock, it can essentially just be the text of the states shown in the design docs. To kick things off, I took screenshots of my Samsung phone, here's what the notifications look like for me (this may differ based on what Android flavor you have).

Expanding simply moves the line of text down and reveals the application name (not super helpful). I am curious why the application logo is so small and has this blue circle around it. Do others see this as well on their devices?

Here's a first draft of changes, reflecting the block clock state.

It is possible to add options to notifications. What I don't know is if there are any limitations, this might be good to investigate (dev docs). Right now I don't think we have a lot of options that would be convenient here, so maybe we just leave it out for now and keep it simple - just text to communicate the primary state?
