When creating an event in calendar android app, how do I set the type (email/notification) and time

When adding an event to the calendar in the desktop browser, there is an option to set the number, type (email/notification) and how much time in advance for reminders for the event.
I cannot find the same option in the android mobile app.
Is there a way to do it?
Note that I am NOT interested in setting the global reminder for events but rather the event specific one (as can be done in the desktop browser).
Thanks

Hi DavidTIL,

For me there is an option in the Android GCal app to set the notification options for events, it's right under "Add location" in the event details page. Can you check if you have this option?

If not, please attach a screenshot and we'll troubleshoot more.

Thx!

This worked on my Android phone until today. Now I don't see an option anymore to add or edit my reminders. They are defaulting to 10 minutes before the event, which is useless to me.

For some reason this now works for me. When i posted this, I scrolled all the way to the bottom and could not find the notification section. (there were generally less section/options. not sure what changed.)
Thanks!
