As far as I know, it does so already. Set Start and Due Time, make
yourself the ATTENDEE, accept the task in the email. 
Check your tasks.ics, and it has an VAlARM in there 15 min before the
Start time. 
Ok it's kind of awkward to get the alarm in, but it works and shows the
alarm. 
Maybe the alarm should go of before the Due date/time and should be
changeable?
Have fun,
