[Android] Allow syncing Modes/Do Not Disturb with Quiet Time

It would be awesome if we could sync the phones Do Not Disturb state with the Pebble’s Quiet Time feature so that when you need your watch/phone to be silent you just need to enable it on one of the two.
As of right now, there is a setting in the Pebble app called “Respect Phone Do Not Disturb” that makes the companion app just not send notifications to the watch at all but does not affect Quiet Time when DND is enabled on the phone. This is impractical since it doesn’t help with the watch vibrating on system notification (like calendar events) while the phone is in DND. Also when this setting is enabled, Do Not Disturb takes the meaning of “Act like incoming notifications don’t exist” while on Android it usually just behaves like a modern reinterpretation of the mute switch.

Bidirectional Android “Modes”/Quiet Time sync would be awesome, if that isn’t possible one-way syncing phone focus mode changes to the watch would be fine as well.

The same issue exists on iOS. At least on iOS, developers like Pebble could use Focus Filters to remotely trigger quiet mode, but it requires development work.

Currently I find it pretty suboptimal to manage both modes. If I go to bed, which I do at irregular times, I can’t just flip one switch. When I wake up, I often forget to flip the opposite switch.

I assumed the situation was better on Android. I guess not.
