Tasker Integration | Notch-Touch

From Notch-Touch to Tasker

Trigger a complex Tasker sequence simply by tapping your camera cutout.

Scenario: The Smart Home Macro

You want to tap your notch when leaving the house to trigger a "Lockdown" routine that turns off all your smart lights, locks the front door, and sets your phone to vibrate.

🛠️ How to Configure

                    1. In Tasker: Preferences > Misc > Enable 'Allow External Access'
                    2. In Tasker: Create a named Task (e.g., 'HouseLockdown')
                    3. In Notch-Touch: Select '❖ RUN TASKER' on a gesture and enter the exact Task Name.
                

Tasker to Notch-Touch (Kill-Switch)

Dynamically disable or enable specific notch gestures in the background.

Scenario: Reading & Scrolling Mode

You are reading a book on the Kindle app or scrolling through Instagram, and you don't want an accidental tap on the notch to interrupt you. Tasker can automatically send a 'disable' intent when those specific apps launch, and re-enable them when you leave the app.

🛠️ How to Configure

In Tasker, create a 'Send Intent' Action:Action:com.chaos.notchtouch.SET_GESTURE_STATE
Extra 1:gesture_key:single
Extra 2:is_disabled:true
Target:Broadcast Receiver

Gesture Keys: single, double, triple, left, right, left_hold, right_hold, holdis_disabled: Use 'true' to block the touch, 'false' to re-enable.

Tasker to Notch-Touch (Remapping)

Instantly overwrite a gesture's assigned action without ever opening the Notch-Touch app.

Scenario: Time-Based Context

You want your "Double Tap" gesture to open the Camera app during the day, but you want it to toggle the Flashlight after 8:00 PM. Tasker can send an intent at 8:00 PM to seamlessly reprogram the gesture's memory.

🛠️ How to Configure

In Tasker, create a 'Send Intent' Action:Action:com.chaos.notchtouch.SET_GESTURE_ACTION
Extra 1:gesture_key:double
Extra 2:action_name:ACTION_TOGGLE_FLASHLIGHT
Target:Broadcast Receiver
