The now defunct Secure Settings plugin used to have a feature that allowed you to enable or disable notifications for an app. I eventually figured out that this can be set with root and the "service call" command, using the following as a reference for Pie https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/refs/heads/pie-release/core/java/android/app/INotificationManager.aidl

So for the app "com.my.app", you first need to get the uid:

stat -c "%u" /data/data/com.my.app

Then run the following to disable notifications:

service call notification 10 s16 "com.my.app" i32 app_uid i32 0

To re-enable them, run:

service call notification 10 s16 "com.my.app" i32 app_uid i32 1

You can also fetch the notification status

I have AutoNotification Paid version, bought Android Go Edition device that doesn't have Notification Access feature that I overlooked & have rooted that phone by now. Any ideas/workarounds to let AutoNotification to access notifications despite not having that feature, through root access altering system accordingly, allowing AutoNotification to access notifications?

In addition to the idea before this which suggest some things to make it faster to navigate between actions when the user have a lot of tasks and projects

I suggest also making an option in preferences to load only one project by time because people who has slow devices have a lot of lags in navigating between tasks and actions 

This is a pretty obvious one, even if it has to generate a separate file, which would be a good additional option anyways.

Right now there is no direct way to backup/restore Global Variable names and values in native Tasker. A workaround exists via a "Global Variable Backup Task" posted on reddit a while back, but this should really be baked into Tasker to begin with.

The navigation bar customization is awesome.

I've added a button to my nav bar that is contextual.  Pressing it triggers a task that behaves differently depending on where I am, what network I'm connected to, what app I have open, and possibly more.  For example, if I'm not at home, it toggles my media play/pause.  When I'm at home, it toggles my lights on and off.  When I'm connected to my grocery store's wifi, it opens up Samsung pay.

I would like to be able to dynamically change the task's image in the navigation bar.  This way I can make

Media Controls only work when you specify the specific media player.

It would be better that there would be an option to run them on the foreground app whether it's Spotify or VLC or any other players.

For example, if Spotify is playing media button pauses Spotify and when VLC is playing media button pauses VLC. While now, unless you define which app the media controls should act on, this  task won't work. 

An event to be triggered when a call is answered by me or the other party. 

Hello, I would like to launch 2 applications with a split screen as an action, until now I have not found it, it seems to not exist, it would be great to include it in the future.

Google Cloud Text-to-Speech API supports SSML.

So, I would like to add an option to specify Plain Text or SSML to Say WaveNet.

Change NFC Sound

I'm sure I can not be the only one to have thought this, but when doing housekeeping I like to make new projects and move Tasks/Profiles there. This currently requires exporting and reimporting.

Could there be an option with Clone/Export, called Move please? This could then drop down all current Projects where said Profile/Task/Scene moves to.

Thank you!

I had raised an issue here "%CLIP event doesn't work and state doesn't update properly" about the clipboard not triggering events. Joao found out it was an Android Q issue where they added new security to disallow all applications from accessing the clipboard in the background.

There is a new permission

I'm not really sure if it will be possible for Tasker to receive permissions with protectionLevel signature, but I figured I would create a ticket for it just in case.

I'm reading elsewhere that Android Q will break a lot of clipboard manager apps, but Tasker gets administrator privileges

I think this gesture would be an interesting context.  Perhaps going further to define what region and what direction?

Swipe in from lower right...show scene...

Swipe in from upper left...call my wife, turn on all the lights, open the garage door

Or would this be more suited for a launcher to manage?

This is actually a two part idea for making plugins work better, and I think it's a must have due to how erratic 3rd party applications can work sometimes. 

1) Add in a "Continue Task Immediately" option. This would allow the plugin to work without halting the task if the plugin application is behind or not working, but also give it the allotted timeout to try and accomplish it's function. 

2) Add in a "Perform once" option. Now this may not be necessary if the above action is added, but this would prevent tasker from sending multiple signals to do

'Beginner Mode' causes more confusion and trouble than it is worth. New users will post that Tasker doesn't work and often the cause is because they are still in beginner mode.

At the very least the option should default to off. I can't see why this mode is needed.

if we choose not to give a profile or task a name, Tasker gives a default "placeholder" name but we cannot call the profile/task by this placeholder name from other tasks unless we give it our own name.

if Tasker would just set the user defined name to match this placeholder name if the user decides to not give it a unique name, this would make calling %pactive and %penabled much easier.

Would be nice to have Tasker act like an input device,  users could make their own custom keyboards with special functionality, ex: vim-like actions and such.

One of the major issues to change the names of certain profiles/variables is that then the names need to be manually edited. Sometimes it can lead to a lot of manual work and manual search for where they are located in the other profiles.

Wouldn't be possible to create a label or link them so it would change in the whole tasker? Somehow like the 'perform task' automatically changes when the task name is renamed.

Hello Joao,

My recommendation is that we add a notification cancel and read message option to Tasker. This feature is available on other automation apps. This feature is going help tons of people.

Thank you for your time,

Right now there is option to overwrite file if it already exists in google drive, option to cancel upload if file exists would be really helpful.
