Some experimentation may be interesting here. See if we can get rid of the bitmap backups on iOS and just save bitmaps in this notification method. Not sure if I tried that, and probably won't right now because I'm behind schedule on some things. But perhaps in the future.

(Also, I said "the one iOS sends you", I meant the one iOS sends to Allegro)
