First smartphone alert of the day, for many (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alarm

(Other definitions for alarm that I've seen before include "A rousing sound in the morning" , "Safety bell or alert signal" , "Fright" , "Frighten, disturb" , "Mild panic" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
