Google Home - Announce Incoming Notifications - Tasker Tips & Tricks

**Updated 5/27/2017**
After installing this profile Google Home will announce your selected incoming notifications by app name and subject line.
Video Demo
Part 1.
1. Download and install Tasker, AutoNotifications BETA, and AutoCast BETA (you will need the Full Paid versions). Also download Notifications.prf.xml
2. Once you have received the AutoNotifications BETA update via the Play Store open the app, grant all permissions, press "Enable Notification Intercept" and grant notification access. Leave all other default settings and exit AutoNotifications.
3. Once you have received the AutoCast BETA update from the play store open the app, grant all permissions, select "Manage Cast Devices," then press + to add your Google Home then exit the app.
Part 2.
1. Place the Notifications.prf.xml file in your device’s Tasker/profiles folder (if these folders do not exist then create them).
2. Open Tasker and long-press “Profiles,” then select “Import” and import the xml file from Part 1.
3. Back-out of Tasker to save the profile. Done!
You can customize your list of apps to announce by pressing the "Notifications" profile in Tasker to expand the profile, then press "AutoNotification Intercept Event...", then the pencil to configure. Press "Apps" to select your apps. Google Home will now announce incoming notifications including the name of the app and subject line (you can disable by placing your phone on silent). Enjoy!
Tip: include the Google App in your selected apps to hear your Google reminders on GH.
**Important**
- GH must be connected to the same wifi network as your phone in order to announce the notification.
- Turn off battery optimization for Tasker, AutoNotifications, AutoCast or your device may disable these apps when idle.

Instead of Silent to prevent any notification announcements, can I change it to Do Not Disturb instead? Would changing %SILENT ~ off to %DO NOT DISTURB ~ off work?

I haven't tried that but it sounds like it should work.

Yes, it does work, but it's not that straight forward. I've attempted many trial and errors and finally discovered one that worked for us (since we have the same phone).

I also removed the reading of the message from the notification and unread text reminder, keeping just a notification of a text received from sender. I didn't feel too comfortable having my text auto-read out loud.

Multiple Google Home's
Thanks for this, it works a treat when casting to one google home.
However i tried to get it to cast to my speaker group which just causes the app to crash. Do you know of any work arounds or is it just not capable of doing this yet ?

Unfortunately the app can currently only cast to one device at a time.

Cool things here! A Question Please, - When I import the tasker.xml, are then all my other tasker-tasks still there?
Thanks!

I know Your Question is a time ago, but I wanted to let You know, that it is Possible to cast to more than one Google-Home! - You must only go in the Tasker-Profile, tab on the profile to expand it, tab on the right side in the expanded profile (tasks of the profile), and setup the last task a second time the same but now choose a further Google-Home-Device, done! So the Google-Home's speaking out the information one after another, how it set in the Tasker-Profile! It's really Great!

I have seen Your awesome Profiles, and in the moment I'm addicted to it! I wanted to let You know, because I have seen that in the past Someone have asked about to cast to more than one Google-Home, and You answered that yet is not possible! - Probably You know this anyway, but in case not, I have found a Workaround in the way that I have set up the last task in the profile (Autocast) a second time, and choosed a second Google-Home, and now the Google-Home's speaking out the informations one after another, in the sequence it is setup in the Tasker-Profile! So it is possible to setup many Google-Home's as Wish with this Wonderful Profiles!
Thanks for Your Awesome Work and Time!:good:

[Android 2.2+] MissedIt! -Text-based notifications for missed calls/SMS/e-mails/apps

MissedIt!
Text-based notification widget for missed calls/SMS/e-mails/apps
Link to the app on Google Play
Get information about the number of missed calls, unread SMS, unread e-mail messages and notifications from virtually any application a glance with this simple yet very customizable widget. You can use it with any lockscreen replacement app to access all this information without need to unlock your phone.
Missed It! must be enabled as an Accessibility Service to be able to receive application notifications ('Settings » Accessibility » Accessibility services'). If enabled and application notifications not detected, try disabling and then re-enabling.
Requirements
Android version 2.2 and up.
Features
Reports number of missed calls, unread SMS and pending voicemails.
If you use Gmail or K-9 Mail, you can obtain the number of unread messages of each account individually. In the case of Gmail, you can also select which label to monitor.
Also reports notifications from any application that uses the notification bar to report events (including WhatsApp, Tweetdeck, e-mail clients, etc).
Customization of font and background color and transparency. Also font faces (can use fonts stored in external SD card) and styles (bold, italic, underline).
Customization of the layout (alignments, margins, etc).
Text messages can be customized to show whatever phrase you want.
Represent numbers as text.
Resizable widget on ICS. With previous Android versions, there are multiple widget sizes available (user can select which sizes appears in widget list).
-- PERMISSIONS USED --
READ_PHONE_STATE, to get the voicemail state.
CALL_PHONE, to directly call to voicemail if there is any pending message.
This looks promising! I wanted TxMissed to break into two lines, and you've got that going on here already. I'll give it a try!
Edited to say - it would be nice if the background could be made transparent, if it can be, I'm not sure how to do it. I do like that it only shows the pertinent info, right now I have one missed text, and that's all that shows. It would be nice if the number of missed itens could be spelled out, like 'one txt missed', rather than '1 txt missed', or am I also missing how to do that, too?

You can. Go to the appearance settings and click on "color" under background, and when the color picker comes up, drag the alpha slider over to the right. Alpha is the level of transparency. Farther to the right, you'll get zero transparency, while the left is more opaque.
Does anyone know how I can get this app to check my TweetDeck notifications? Is it even possible?
Tested Gmail support. The notification works but after checking my Gmail MissedIt! constantly force closes. Stock 2.2 Samsung Captivate I896.

The help shows all the parameters the application currently supports.
To all of you getting problems with the email, the application may not be querying the correct account. I will post today an updated version to fix this.
BTW, can you send me an extract of the logcat showing the error?
Edited: To temporarily disable checks on email account, go to Appearance, disable the Default output format and edit the Custom format to delete the [mails] parameter from the string. The application will know that we are no interested in that information and will not check for it.

Looks like a nice app.
But the new line command doesn't work.
It shows all issues in one line.

I tried both. And I checked it. It's written correctly.

seems working but havent tested intensively yet. some comments:
1) it doesn't display the messages until the event happenned? ie, it will only show "1 missed call", but nothing when there isn't any missed calls?
2) is it possible to enable starting the relevant apps (call log, default sms app, default email app) when we click on the message?
It's finally in the making! What I've been looking for for quite some time now.. Awesome! Definitely following this.

Thank you!
It is working fine for me.
OP, nice work. If you want help and (hopefully) would consider open sourcing it, I can get you some new features added
New version published
I was assuming that the first account returned by AccountManager was a Gmail account. If you was getting a FC when trying to get unread e-mails, please try this new version.
And now a question. Currently the application only handles the first gmail account returned by AccountManager. In the case of having multiple Gmail acounts on the phone, how do you prefer this to be handled? Let the user select what account to use or add the possibility of handle all of them? Please take in consideration that the last option will undoubtedly increase not only the complexity of the code, but also the UI, so before taking any action on this, I need to know if users will consider this option interesting.

Gear 2 neo functionality review (Note 3 att)

A quick run down of what works and what doesn't.
1. Can send and receive calls via the watch. (then I changed my ringtone to "Knightrider")
2. Can send, receive, and reply to SMS via watch, send by using premade templates or Svoice typing (although not easy to switch between the two on the fly)
3. Can receive most notifications from APPS when selected
-cannot receive TASK notifications from calendar for some odd reason, so if i set up a task like "remind me in 5 minutes to brush my teeth" i get no reminder on the watch, but i do on the phone. This really makes me mad.
4. Can create appointments in calendar, but cannot set an appointment reminder. Note 3 has no default reminder setting, so if i use S voice on the watch to set a calender appointment, i will not get a reminder about it. This really makes me mad.
5. Cannot use Svoice to launch navigator from watch, but can from phone. This really makes me mad.
6. Can set an alarm using Svoice from watch, but cannot name the alarm. This makes me mad seeing as options 3 and 4 arent working either!!
-conclusion, no way for me to talk to watch and be reminded by watch and phone
7. went from 100% battery to 40% battery in 21 hours with heavy use. (3 phone calls, constant fiddling, media remote, tv remote, Sleep app, lots of testing)
8. Can control playback of currently selected playlist on phone via Media remote, with forward and backward skipping. Cannot select music on phone in any manner. This makes me mad too!
9. Watch on works great for controlling basic TV functions. There is no guides of any sort on watch for programs.
That should answer some of the questions that i had initially before my purchase but could not find. If anyone has any questions about functions ask and i will provide what i can.
10. When two notifications come in at the same time there is no way to view both without going to notifications app.
11. Cannot reply to email notifications
12. there is no Auto brightness setting, you must manage this manually
13. Svoice will not "Read the news" due to this function is not available
14. Dismissing a notification on the watch also dismisses the notification on the phone
15. deleting a notification on the watch does not delete it from the phone
16.You cannot set a "Location" reminder from Svoice on the watch, only a standard task reminder.
17. The wrist gesture is not very strict. My screen goes on unintentionally all the time. The minimum screen timeout is 10 seconds.
4. FIX - To make calendar reminders default to a value, you need to remove "My Calendar" and "Samsung Calendar" from the calendar app, instead only use Google calendar, when you use svoice to make an event, the google calendar will automatically add your predefined reminder.

This was a great run down! :good::good:
--especially since I was waiting to get my Neo, which finally arrived yesterday.
Question --where is the sleep app?
I hunted high and low and can't find it. (Either I am going blind or I need to do something to get it! I thought I saw somewhere in these XDA threads where someone had to download an update to enable or get sleep app, but I have the latest gear manager (updated yesterday when I setup the Neo).
My NEO software version is ANCD, (that is the only thing I am thinking could be the issue!)
Thank's in advance for any assistance
EDIT: SLEEP.APK OK I had to manually update the Neo's rom via Kies3 (after DL/Installing Kies3, plugged in the Neo and Kies discovered a software update. I went from Neo Rom NCD to ND8.) After the update, I had the Sleep app in apps!

[Project] Send scheduled Whatsapp messages via Tasker

View attachment 3780419Hello everyone,
I am going to provide a basic profile set up to send scheduled Whatsapp messages via Tasker
Apps required:
1. Whatsapp.
2. Tasker.
3. WhatsTasker.
4. Notification listener (free version)
5. Calendar Snooze.
Basic theory:
I enter an event (Vicky>Happy Birthday) as a reminder without the brackets-> when the reminder is fired by the Calendar Snoooze app-> it is detected by the Notification Listener app-> as the event conatins the variable (>) without brackets, the entire (Vicky>Happy Birthday) without brackets is split up into (Vicky) and (Happy Birthday) without brackets. The (Vicky) without brackets is the exact name in the Whatsapp contact list to whom the message (Happy Birthday) will be send to.
Ex: You want to send your pal Vicky on your Whatsapp contact a message Thanks, then your event will be Vicky>Thanks. Time settings dont matter.
Please note:
1. Calendar snooze app is optional: I use it for firing my reminder events. You can choose any other reminder app you are using provided you make the necessary changes in the Notfication listener app setting: you just have to replace Calendar snooze app with whatever app you are using to fire reminders.
2. You can play with the settings to make it optimal for your use.
3. I have added the entire project as an XML file for download as well as WhatsTasker, Notification Listener (free version) and Calnedar Snooze app as attachments. You can also download them from playstore (maybe WhatsTasker has been removed from playstore).
Thank you.

Ok, So here is how I will use Tasker to schedule messages without using WhatsTasker. You will need an additional app: Autoapps [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autocontacts&hl=en]. You can fine tune it as per your needs. I have attached the project XML.

OK, I reïnstalled the XML file and the whole process is working, but only when the phone is in active state...
As soon as the phone is inactive, then the process stops at WhatsApp and isn't sending the message..
ok, it's weird, what do you mean by inactive?
If you mean inactive is lockscreen on, then you should add a task where you add an lockscreen unlock task.

How-To Make Google Home Announce Incoming Calls and Auto-Read New Text Messages

**Updated 5/27/2017**
After installing these profiles GH will announce incoming calls and read incoming text messages including the name of the caller/sender or ph#.
Auto-Read Incoming Text Messages Demo
1. Download and install Tasker and download and sign up for AutoCast BETA (you will need the full paid version). Also download Announce_Incoming_Calls.prf.xml and Auto_Read_Message.prf.xml
2. Once you have received the AutoCast BETA update via the Play Store, open the app, select "Manage Cast Devices," press +, then select your Google Home.
3. Place the xml files from Step 1 into the Tasker/profiles folder (if these folders does not exist then create them). Open Tasker, long-press "Profiles," select "Import," then import the xml files.
4. Back-out of Tasker to save the profiles. Done!
Google Home will now automatically announce incoming calls and auto-read incoming text messages using your phone's preferred TTS engine (you can disable by setting your phone to silent). Enjoy!
**Important**
- GH must be connected to the same wifi network as your phone.
- Turn off battery optimization for Tasker and AutoCast or your device may disable these apps when idle.

Text Messaging with Google Home and AutoVoice

After following the process below you will be able to start a natural language dialog with Google Home or Google Mini to send text messages to any contact (see video demo).
***Updated 1/1/2018*** Added troubleshooting section below to address the issue where AutoVoice ends the dialog prematurely. Also, added Step 7 to Part 3 of the instructions to make certain that, once the setup is complete, Tasker is synced with Dialogflow.com.
Video Demo
Learn more about AutoVoice here.
Requirements:
- Tasker
- AutoVoice BETA (Full Paid Version + Monthly Subscription to Natural Language feature $.99/month)
- AutoContacts BETA
Part 1.
1. Download and install the Tasker, AutoVoice BETA, and AutoContacts BETA apps. Also download the AutoVoice_Text_Messaging.prf.xml and AutoVoice.zip.
Part 2.
1. Go to Dialogflow.com and sign up for free using the same Google account used for your Google Home.
2. Click on "Create Agent."
3. Enter the Agent Name as AutoVoice and click on "Create."
4. Once the agent is created click on the gear icon in the top left corner then go to the "Export and Import" tab.
5. Select "Restore Zip" and restore the AutoVoice.zip file from Step 1.
6. Take note of the "Client access token" and the "Developer access token." You will make use of this info in the next step.
***Make Certain that you have received the AutoVoice and AutoContacts BETA updates from the Play Store before continuing!***
Part 3.
1. Open the AutoVoice app and grant all permissions.
2. From the main menu select "Natural Language" then "Setup Natural Language." Next, insert the Client access and Developer access tokens from Dialogflow.com and press "Accept."
3. From the apps Natural Language menu select "Commands" and toggle On the "Use For Google Assistant/Alexa" toggle switch. Log-in using your Google account when prompted and set-up your subscription for the Natural Language feature. Back out to exit AutoVoice.
4. Link Google Home to AutoVoice. See video: https://youtu.be/KaCQMjPllno
5. Open AutoContacts, grant all permissions and allow it to load your contacts (I recommend that you upgrade to the full, paid version or you will only have access to a limited number of contacts).
6. Next, place the AutoVoice_Text_Messaging.prf.xml file from Step 1 into the Tasker/profiles folder (if these folders do not exist then create them). Open Tasker, long-press "Profiles," select "Import," then import the xml file. Back-out of Tasker to save the profile.
7. Open the AutoVoice app again, go to "Natural Language," select "Commands," then toggle the "Use For Google Assistant/Alexa" toggle switch off and on in order to sync Tasker with Dialogflow.com.
Last, create the following shortcut in the Home app. To begin the text messaging dialog say "Ok Google, send a message." Or, you can also say "Ok Google, ask AutoVoice to send a message." Enjoy!
Troubleshooting:
- Users are reporting that AutoVoice may end the dialog prematurely. If that happens open the AutoVoice app, select "Natural Language" then "Commands." Select the applicable command where the dialog ends prematurely and select "Toggle Finish Assistant Conversation." Note: the only command that should finish the conversation is "answer-send."
So I set this all up and it seems to work. But how do I phrase the text of the message and assign it to a contact?
After I say "Hey google send a message" Google Home replies with "Sure heres autovice", then autovice says "command sent send a message"

It sounds like AutoVoice is not recognizing the Dialogflow agent. Try opening the AutoVoice app, select Natural Language, then Commands, then toggle off and on the "Use for Google Assistant/Alexa" toggle switch. That should solve it.

Not Able To Get It Working
I have set everything up and checked several times and I have 2 problems. I have signed up to be a beta tester with autocontacts and am not getting the beta version update. The second problem is that I have a message on my phone that says " Tasker no active profiles" Thanks

The BETA versions are a must or it will not work. Send an email to the AutoContact dev. He is very responsive.

Sorry, I was rushing through the forum while at work. Suggest you post a note to the AutoApp's Dev hear. He is very helpful: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/110193399489813640793

Did you receive and update the Auto app's BETA versions?
Can this work with a shortcut style command?
Our car is parked in a valet garage that uses SMS to tell them when you need your car. I want to be able to say "hey Google, we need the car" and have a text with a specific number string (our car's ID number) sent to a phone number. Without having to spell out the message or who it should be sent to.
Thanks!

IFTTT is better suited for a predetermined text ( This: Google Assistant, That: Android SMS, "Say a simple phrase" option). This tutorial is for those that want to be able to text any contact or ph# with varying text messages.

So in order to buying all the apps full version, you still need tp pay a monthly subscription to Natural Language in order to make it all work ?
Uploaded new files that resolve an issue where AutoVoice would stop listening prematurely. Also added Step 7 to Part 3 of the instructions in order to make certain that, once the setup is complete, Tasker is synced with Dialogflow.com.
Autovoice left conversation in the middle.
Tried that too. I have become beta tester as well. Autovoice left conversation in the middle.

At what point in the dialog did it stop listening? Also, are you using the files that I uploaded yesterday?
I shall try it and reply back.

Open the AutoVoice app and select Natural Language, then Commands, then "send a message" then "Toggle Finish Assistant..."
