Description

In xDrip+ there is the possibility to select a "Force Speaker" option for a "Glucose Level Alarm".
Even if a headset is connected, the alarm then comes through the speaker of the cell phone.
Background:
If I listened to music or made a phone call using a headset and then put the headset down, then an alarm from AAPS is only heard through the headset. But because I have already put down the headset, I sometimes cannot hear an alarm.
In short:
It would be nice to be able to define the alarms from AAPS with the "Force Speaker" option as well.

Edit:
Observed with AAPS [ 3.1.0.3] with Google Pixel 4.

Research direction

Start by locating the alarm settings and alarm playback entry points in AndroidAPS, then reproduce the reported behavior with a connected headset on the stated Google Pixel 4 setup. Done means users can configure a Force Speaker option for alarms and hear those alarms from the phone speaker when a headset is connected.
