+  Make timer count down even when app is un-focused or closed.
+  Set const endTime = Date.now() + duration and save that to the task, maybe? 
+  Then trigger notif when endTime == Date.now()? 
+  Then fetch endTime from DB -> if null then timer is inactive
+  if !null then set timer to endTime  - Date.now() and start
+  Might have to save duration as well in DB to preserve timer animation persistance
