To the Second Alarm App for Droid

I really wish I knew how to modify or could find an app for my smart phone that could be set to go off at a particular time to the second, not just to the minute. Does anyone know of an app that I can download that has that option? I literally read a couple books about app development tio try to create my own but gave up.

Many years ago I scheduled seeing a mag -8 iridium flare myself then having a guy on the phone who would see the same sat flare just over 3 minutes later, hundreds of miles south of me. To help coordinate the timing I recorded my voice on a portable tape recorder giving a countdown for me then for him. I started the recording a specific minute before and I had to be diligent in making sure everything was recorded at just the right time when I made the tape. Not a particularly easy task, but it worked very well.

Having a talking customizable alarm would be too much to ask but being able to set one to go off as 21:23:45 for example, would be better than having it go off at 21:23:00 then counting 45 seconds in my head.

Thanks.
