title: Is it possible to add a reminder programatically without creating event in android calendar?
body: <p>I use Google Calendar Provider for Android to add Events in my Google Calendar:
  <a href="https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/calendar-provider.html#overview" rel="noreferrer">https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/calendar-provider.html#overview</a></p>
  
  <p>And this is the example to add Reminder for the Event:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
  values.put(CalendarContract.Reminders.MINUTES, 15);
  values.put(CalendarContract.Reminders.EVENT_ID, reminderEventId);
  values.put(CalendarContract.Reminders.METHOD, CalendarContract.Reminders.METHOD_ALERT);
  getContentResolver().insert(CalendarContract.Reminders.CONTENT_URI, values);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But in my <a href="https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/6285327?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid" rel="noreferrer">Google Calendar app</a> I can create Reminders without having EVENT_ID. Is it possible to create the same reminders with Google Calendar Provider for Android? </p>
  
  <p>The same like this:
