Right now the app would receive the error message on the bus. Maybe we can do
the following. 

Add new properties with the number-of-retries. If it is 0 we post the error,
like now. If it is > 0, we post an warning message instead of the error and do
the retries, for each retry we wait 1 second (or do we need another property
here).
When the final retry fails we post an error. If this sounds good, I'd go with a
default of 3 for number-of-retries. This changes the current behavior, but I
think it actually improves the case for the user.
