I guess I don't understand the whole scheduling and notification thing because I'm not seeing the fundamental difference between the Android Notification/Job Scheduler and iCalendar. This is because on the surface they seem to do the exact same thing.
Here's the gist: iCalendar is a standard for communicating
descriptions of calendar events like appointments, work shifts,
baseball games, meetings with your parole officer, and so on.
The iCalendar standard is supported by lots and lots of systems,
almost certainly including the one built-in to your phone and
whatever your employer might deploy (or already have deployed).
That is, if you follow Daniele Futtorovic's suggestion you
will very likely need to do little or no programming.
(... unless I've misunderstood the goal, which is always a
possibility.)
