Don't show sms preview at night - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Here's one of those "how do I do this with Tasker?" questions...
I've got my SMS app set to show a preview of an incoming text. That's fine normally, but at night I use "Night Clock" on my phone as my alarm clock, and if I get a text it pops up a preview, which both blocks the time shown and creates a brighter screen that is annoying. I've already got a "night time" Tasker profile that handles volumes and notifications, so there's no audible effect, but I'd like to not get the preview during that same time. Anyone have any idea how to disable the text message preview when this profile is active? The message app is Verizon's message+, btw.
Thanks.

Does Do Not Disturb block visual notifications?

I would say that belongs to app feature. Maybe you can try to have Tasker auto dismiss it, but it will still show up first.

DnD does not block the notification. And auto-dismissing it would be fine. Now I need to figure out how to do that. Thanks!

yeah from what I understand DnD would just disable sounds and lights, what an app tries to show is something else. Maybe you can can have Tasker detects the popup and tap to dismiss it. You can also try the AutoInput plugin.

Ahhhh, auto dismissing notifications is easy!
Use AutoNotification - it's a fantastic app that's part of a set of tools.

You can do SO much with them. With tis app, all you'll do is monitor for new non-persistent notifications, then dismiss them.
One thing I use it for is when I unlock my phone, and I have a new SMS, Whatsapp, or email, the notification shade slides down so that I have easy access to them.

I did try out AutoNotification and it worked for me. I intercept the new message notification then, if do not disturb is on (nighttime setting), I send the back button, which dismisses the pop-up. Cool.
Thanks!

stop email notification

I am wondering if anyone knows how to stop the email notifications. I get emails all the time, and I use phonealarm on my today screen to monitor them. It is very annoying to constantly have the left soft button come up with a notification .
I have gone into setting>sounds & notifications and turned everything off.. but I still have the soft button notification. I would think there is some registry setting to do this but I have not found one.
Notification Softkey Help
Bumping this thread.
I too have all notifications for email turned off, but still get that left softkey changing to "notification" every 10 minutes to let me know I have unread email. I know I have unread email and already have the # of messages listed on the Today screen. I am tired of having to dismiss this.
Please, somebody tell us how to shut this off.
settings/sounds & notifications/notifications tab/event drop down box/messaging:new email messages.
in there will give you the options for all types of messing to turn on/off

Thanks, but that's the point. All those options are checked off. We still get the soft key notification.

And there was me thinking I could just use the key listed and change the duration to 1, like I did with SMS notifications. Alas it has no effect so disabling it entirely seems like the only option.
Thank you. This is a big help. Should be added as a "tweak" if somebody can.

PopUp Notifications not clickable

Morning everyone, so I've been using my N6 since Thursday of last week, and really like it so far. But the one thing that is kind of frustrating is that I'm unable to interact with the pop-up notifications. I would assume, if I'm lets say in my Gmail app, reading an email, and I get a test message I should be able to click on the pop-up notification and it should take me to Hangouts. But the only thing I'm able to do is swipe the notifications away and then pull the notification bar down, then click on the notification it will take me to the application. Anyone else have this issue? Is this by design?
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Brocja01
double tap the notification

That only works from the lock screen. I'm talking about when you're actually interacting with an Application lets say Gmail, and you get a text message. Those pop-up notifications. I can't do anything with them but swipe them away. That includes the pop-up notification for a phone call, I actually have to swipe away the notification, then pull down the notification bar to answer the call. Very frustrating...

I have exactly the same problem. I also see it on incoming phone calls -- the popup appears with "answer" or "dismiss", but I can't click either of them. All I can do is swipe the notification away and the phone keeps ringing. I just missed a call due to this.
Anyone else seeing this? I'll let you know if I find a solution.

Make sure you come back here and let me know if you figure this out. Kind of annoying. I've gotten really quick at swiping away, swipe down to answer calls.

I tried a couple of things this morning that seemed to help. I re-enabled the default Messaging app (I had disabled it because I don't use SMS on my phone). I also disabled Hangouts, cleared its data, and re-enabled it. Then I rebooted the phone.
Now Hangouts pop-ups seem to work correctly (I can tap them to go to Hangouts, swipe them down to go to the notification bar, etc.). I haven't had a chance to test it with incoming phone calls yet.
This worked to fix phone calls too, for me. I hope it works for you.

I did a reboot and they started to work. Very wierd.

[Q] Pop-up notifications?

Pop-up notifications weren't mentioned in the google announcement, but were in a release from sony
Have you seen this? I assume Keep would be a good test case for this.
If you want to post a pic or video, that would be appreciated, too.
Thanks
You get a small area across the bottom with a pop up notification (imagine the blank spot on the 360 but it is instead a notification) that remains until you... Swipe down to remove it which will not dismiss it as you can swipe up later to view any notifications which have not been dismissed. When you do choose to view a notification you can swipe up on the notification to view one full screen of it. You can then tap on the full screen notification to get a full scrollable email, text, etc. which can be interacted with further depending on the individual notification type. You might for instance want to voice in a response to a text or email which google now handles well as long as the response is short.
An interesting thing about google wear and the Urbane in general is that I have not found a definitive guide on how to interact with the watch in detail making sorting out what can be done with various notification types a trial and error task.

Thanks, but it sounds like you're describing regular notifications, which will vibrate, but do not appear on the face while an app is running. Sony's description sounds like a new notification will appear over any app that's running, so you don't have to exit the app to see it. Are you seeing them while using an app?

You're correct, I had thought you were talking about ordinary notifications. I've yet to use any apps on the watch, maybe someone else will chime in.
No, the urbane does not have notification pop up while an app is open on ur watch.

Whatsapp notification problems

Hi all
I've just bought the Note 9 after managing to crack the screen of my Note 8, which was also on Android 9 and One UI.
Since getting the new phone, I've had some issues with notifications when the screen is off - Whatsapp doesn't notify, unless I switch notifications on but then I'm stuck with the annoying whatsapp pop-up, and it doesn't show up on lock screen notifications.
As well as this, I also have a problem with whatsapp when screen on, not showing all messages. It will either say "conversation: x messages" or "x messages from y conversations"
I had this working just perfectly on my note 8 but I'm really struggling on the Note 9! I hope someone can help?!

The pop-up notification can be disabled in WhatsApp settings > Notifications > Pop-up Notifications > No pop-up.
Check your lock-screen notification settings and then individual app setting of Whatsapp (new addition in Pie) and check if notification is disabled on lock screen.

Do you have many unread chats? Try marking some of them as Read.
If the notification is minimal, then the Message Notification (in individual notification setting) may have been set as 'Silent and Minimized'.

When I disable whatsapp popup, nothing happens, just the screen doesn't wake up at all when a whatsapp alert comes in.
Have checked app setting, which seems ok, and notification on lock screen isn't hidden

Hey, can I have the screenshot of the pop-up you're referring to? I think I may have confused heads-up notification with WhatsApp Message Pop-up.

Hiya,
in terms of the pop up issue, I've found something from the forum which seems to have restored it - disabling lightedge whilst screen on. I'm a bit annoyed about this as I quite like the effect, and it does disable it for all apps, even all the others which work perfectly fine, but hey ho!
My main issue really is whatsapp not waking the screen unless I turn on the whatsapp notification, and I hate that box lol
Thats the real thing I want to try and find a cure for if possible......

[Project] Chat Heads For Any App

IMPORTANT: You need these for this to work:
Tasker
AutoNotification
AutoTools
You know how some apps allow you to create floating bubbles (chat heads) when you receive a chat from one of your contacts?
Would you like to have that available for all chat apps?
Check it out!
Import the project from here, enable the profiles and you'll start seeing the bubbles right away! :laugh:
Just imported the project and it's working flawlessly. The default replying from the notification drawer requires a couple of tapping and swiping, but this works in a very easy way and over any app. Thanks!!

Yes, the notification panel doesn't show any activities with this project. First I installed the Auto Notification app, gave all permissions. After a few minutes it started giving me the popup messages from WhatsApp and SMS organizer.

Thanks, yes , after some time its working now.
How would one expand this to show MMS?
How can I get rid of the vibration when I click on the bubble?
I cant seem to get this working. All the permissions are given and Apps are installed (even Auto Tools since this was needed). Does Autotools need to be the Pro Version for this to work?
Love this project, thanks.
One question: i would like to turn of the toast notifications on the bottom of the screen. Any tips?

Go to Auto Tools, Logs and Alerts, uncheck all boxes under Web Screens.
This looks great. But it doesn't work at all for me. Had it installed for 3 days now and I never have gotten a bubble to show up. I've granted all necessary permissions too.
Didn't work for me either. Imported project and no go. Mine already showed it had the bubble option in messages notifications. Was hoping this would work. Pixel 3 xl android 10 with root. No go.
For those who couldn't get it to work, did you create a task in Tasker adding the plugins?
Is there a way to customize the Avatar in the floating icon? Like in the video shown? Mine just had the generic emoji guy.
I really wanted this to work as well, but it has been a no go on my Pixel 2 XL. Would have do to with being on Pie?
@rafe83 @S8rooted&tooted
I just imported it and it works fine on a pixel 3XL, Pie.
From the description notes when you import the project;
IMPORTANT: Make sure to enable the AutoNotification Notification Listener to make this work. Open Tasker > Menu > More > Android Settings > Notification Listener > Enable AutoNotification.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That is the only configuration that is require.
As long as AutoNotification can intercept notifications that have a "reply" action, the chat head should appear. If not, look in your Tasker run log.
@Kwandds
The profile, "Intercept Notifications With Reply Action" contains a default icon for when the notification intercept does not contain an icon that can be used. It's set in A4
A4: Variable Set [
Name:%anicon
To:https://previews.123rf.com/images/metelsky/metelsky1809/metelsky180900233/109815470-man-avatar-profile-male-face-icon-vector-illustration-.jpg
Recurse Variables: Off
Do Maths: Off
Append: Off
Max Rounding Digits: 3
If [ %anicon !Set ]
So should the icon change depending on who is sending the message? Because on mine it's always the same default icon.
Thanks

The notification intercept is looking for an icon in the notification that triggers the profile. If %anicon is not set, you get the default.

The AutoNotification event that triggers the profiles scrapes the notification for various information, including an icon. The variable "%anicon" ("an" represents AutoNotification) would contain the path to the icon in the notification if it exists.
Thanks to everyone on here. So I tried again and got it working. Only thing I did was go threw and select in the profile which apps to use. Question, anyone know how to change the color of background and size of pop up that displays. I wanna go a little rounder than the square text input that pops up. And thank you guys for posting different things to try. Finally just kept screwing around and found in each switch in the profile has to be set to package if it can be.
