    How to intercept a notification that is only being sent when the display is on.

    Jay · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi there, I want to intercept a notification from an app. But that app will only send the notification on an android device when the screen is active. But the project is to have an android device that is not used, that intercepts these notifications. Any ideas how I could make this work? I tried everything to have the app send the notifications when the display is off, but no luck.

    Switch between the SIMs of a dual sim device based on cell signal strength (or weakness)?

    Adam · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    If the cellular signal of the current/active SIM1 falls below a 'threshold', I would like Tasker to switch to the other SIM2 (dual SIM device). If Tasker could check the cellular signal of SIM2 before switching (in case it too is poor) that could prevent a loop condition.

    Some kind of logging would be great to track when Tasker switched between the SIMs.

    Plugins actions with Variable Access / mutable states in runtime

    YiKun Ji · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have made a third-party app with Tasker Plugin capabilities. I use custom UI for configuration at the moment, where I can not access Tasker variables (i.e. the state is locked as the plugin is configured, cannot be altered in runtime).

    I am new to plugin development and have not checked all open-source community to find what I need, but is it possible to integrate with Tasker without custom UI (e.g. declare a parameter from Tasker's generic UI)?

    I'm thinking of nasty workarounds such as accessing the clipboard for some temporary data storage...
