Wow I can't believe I have spent so much time on this simple issue which even old phones were able to do flawlessly.
Brand new Nokia 2.1 running oreo go 8.1. Alarms would suddenly disappear from the lock screen or the top notification bar and then won't go off on the time specified.
Apparently a lot of people are facing this issue as it turns out by google search and I have tried the latest version of the google clock and another 3rd party alarm clock and it happens to both. Contacted support and they ask to clear cache and do things like a soft reset neither of which work at all.
I'm lost for solution as I can't get my alarms to keep running in the background until I open my clock app every now and then again and reset the alarm.
It happens to any other app that can run in the background 'auto silence scheduler' app the notification disappears and the app fails to start the scheduled silent time.
Seems like oreo is force closing apps that are running in the background when the phone is put to sleep for a while. Then those apps wont start until they are manually started.
Alarms is the worst because if it will happen during the night and I won't wake up at the time in the morning.
Exact same issue with my Nokia 2.1, Alarm's are a hit or miss scenario these days.

I have the default calendar set to not give me and sound or notification and i have the paid version of Business Calender set up to notify me when a reminder pops up. The problem is, i have it sent to go off 1 time and 1 time only in the settings(repeat disabled), yet it repeats itself until i open the notification which is very annoying. This same issue happened on the default calender with Business calenders notifications/sounds disabled.
Anyone have an idea how to fix this, its getting ridiculous when my phone goes off constantly for meetings until i force it to stop. On my thunderbolt, i never had this issue with the same app.
It seems like any notification is doing this(had other apps going off multiple times also)
Rooted with stock PROPER Remake of Full Rooted Stock Image (aka Root66)
Found out it was the sound file i used, a .OGG file from my old thunderbolt. Converted to MP3 and the issue was solved.
Just starting noticing that my alarm notification icon randomly appears and dissappear even though I have an active alarm set. Haven't flashed anything lately and previously the icon was always there until the weekend when I don't have it set.
Anyone else happen to notice this?

Yeah it happens to me all the time. I'm running CM11 on my Nexus 5. I've been digging, trying to figure it out, but nothing yet.
I've seen this happen at least since ICS on the Gnex

any of you happen to use the Carbon twitter app? I have a hunch this app is causing the icon disappearing issue.
I've temporarily uninstalled carbon to test my theory.
Carbon recently updated their app and it does some 'hiding' of notification bar icons when it goes full screen. Might be related - or might be nothing at all.
For me, the disappearing alarm icon only started in the past 2 days or so.
No carbon twitter app for me but I did recently install the Timely app, wonder if that has anything to do with this or just a coincidence.
uninstalling carbon wasn't the root-cause; alarm icon disappeared again.
i did install timely within the past week ... i've since un-installed and still get the disappearing alarm icon.
Same here. Timely. I was thinking it might have to do with Timely's syncing, but that's completely untested.

When u uninstall timely do u still have the disappearing alarm icon via the stock clock app? I can't figure this out.

I found a post on reddit that talked about the Timely app ... and that if you uninstall Timely but still had an active alarm, it will cause issues with the alarm icon with the stock app. So I re-installed Timely ... and sure enough, I had an alarm still 'active'. I deleted that alarm and uninstalled Timely - but still have the issues with the stock alarm icon disappearing.
There's a thread going in the google product forums on this same issue: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/nexus/oWxThT1ZPd0/IkdLlmB110IJ
Seems no one can figure out the root cause / fix.
Even I get this issue. In my previous phone too (having JB 4.1), this used to happen with default alarm as well as alarm clock plus.
Now I have cataclysm in my Nexus 5 and using Timely. Same happens here too.
I noticed this when I had Timely installed and even when I turned to alarm in it off it still made it disappear. I would suggest if you have any time or other app as such remove them and see if the issue continues.
I uninstalled Timely and it works as it should now.
Hope it helps.

I had this exact same problem with Timely installed. I uninstalled Timely and my alarm clock notification no longer disappears and reappears.
I hope this works for you.
I have the same problem (stock, un-rooted Nexus 5). What I've seen too is that it only disappears if I'm connected to WiFi. If I'm connected to T-Mobile's network, then the alarm notification displays just fine. But shortly after it connects to a WiFi network, the icon disappears.
In some of the Google support forums, a guy with the issue root-caused it back to the latest version of the Pandora App. Seems that ever since Pandora added alarm clock / wake-up functionality, it conflicts with the stock alarm icon.
I uninstalled Pandora a few days ago ... and my alarm icon is back to behaving normally.
i have the same issue with the icon... i do have timely... but it doesnt conflict with the app actually working... my alarms always go off even tho icon is not visible

i have no timely and no pandora but my alarm icon disappears anyway.. maybe xposed wanam makes some trouble with it cuz I modified all the colors of the statusbar icons? hmm... did somebody get another solution in the meantime?
My alarm icons only appear exactly two hours before the alarm is set to go off.
All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.
BUMP
try disabling battery optimization for those apps.
It seems that you have several bugs and if they all start happening after you have installed the latest update, then expect a patch coming soon.

I have actually done that. Found very limited success. I'm also finding very few results on this topic. Surely it's not just me though.
And I'm dreading the idea of a hard reset as I have many things on my phones, not all of which is sync'd to the cloud so it's a task to back things up appropriate. Specifically regarding "encrypted" apps like my password keeper app etc.
It would be great if there was a software application that allowed you to backup whatever is necessary to not lose data, then wipe the phone and instead of just simply restoring the full phone (which is likely to create the same problem one had before the hard reset), you could simply dump back in app data as needed. It would also help diagnose if the problem lies in a specific app's data.
High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.
[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.

Samsung smart switch works wonders, the only thing that doesn't restore is passwords, you have to have and external SD card for it to work, or plug it in to a computer

Go to settings and check if your time is setup to adjust automatically.

That is not the issue. As mentioned, it's not just the clock it's multiple interfaces.

After April update I bumped several times into new strange behavior of Clock app in Alarm section - it shows blank screen and it stops creating new alarms until reboot. I tried to switch between screens of the App, shot it down and relaunched, but with no luck. It happens not every time, but at least a couple times. At least twice after a message that Stand App stopped work. I put my P3 at stand and when I needed to set alarm, it did two things in different order - showed blank Alarm screen and a message that Stand App stopped working. Can not say for sure it's connected. I don't use Assistant for setting alarms after it sets alarm for the next day. Luckily I woke up myself and decided not to take risks with artificial intelligence - look like it tries to be too smart for such a simple task, so not sure if the same problem can arise with Assistant.
Just wondering if anybody's got similar problem and fixed it?
