For anyone who may have missed the current drama created by Google, there is a requirement that apps justify the use of SMS and/call permissions. They have created some exception categories, but refused Tasker's developers request for an exception.

Ok then, Google had responded to the plea for reconsideration. Joao posted in the above linked Google groups thread.

So I've seen this feature on other phones where a voice actually announces who is calling according to the contact entry. Anyone seen a program like this for the TP?
The Microsoft Voice Command software will do that. But I believe it speaks the number not the name.
MSVC says "Incoming Call from [name] on [mobile/home/work/etc]" if you have a name assigned to the contact.
If you click on my shared files link there is a cab you are more than welcome to use.
I'm fail to set a date in the field In/For of calendar insert. I wish to create a reminder in future at specific date. I know the date need to be in minutes, but I fail to convert a date into minutes. Could you help me please? Thanks

It's helps us to help you if you share your task when it's not working as expected.
Long press on the name of the task to highlight it. Go to the 3-dot menu and select export -> Description to Clipboard.
Then you'll be able to paste it. Be aware, it easier to use pastebin then link to a post here.
If you paste the description in a post here, the forum software will convert all semicolons with characters after, typically "on" and "off" to emoticons making it very hard to read.

I just understood well the instruction for the field In/For. I can create calendar entry now. My mistake was to convert a date in minutes, instead of, set minutes from now to date desired. Solved.
I am working on Tasker to reply to an incoming text message using the GET VOICE and SEND SMS commands (for use while driving). After an incoming message Tasker listens to my reply using GET VOICE and sends the reply using SEND SMS with %VOICE in the Message field and some other variable with the phone# in the Number field... and here I'm stuck because I found no way of extracting the phone number from an incoming SMS (it works when the variable has a phone number already assigned to it).
Can anyone help?
Have you tried using the %SMSRF variable? Typically I set a local variable to the value of %SMSRF as the first action in case another text comes in while the task is processing.

Thanks ktmom!
Worked like a charm!
No more struggling with the phone when driving!
Actually, now you have encouraged me to rewrite my task to give an option of when a new SMS arrives to either Text back, Call the sender or just Quit. I have also put to use your tip on setting local variables for all the parts of the incoming text message - just in case
Have a nice day!
I know NFC doesn't use alot battery, but I still want to know if there's a way to use tasker to enable NFC when I start Google Pay. Thanks.
Yes. The application profile context would be Google pay. The associated task is the NFC action

Thanks. I got it worked.
Morning all.
Running tasker on a rooted Nexus 6.
Working on something between tasker and Google voice.
When connected to Bluetooth, I want to hear the contract nickname not the phone number.
I have a trigger with notification intercept focusing on GV.
Task. reads the contact.
But the notification isn't triggering. Any ideas?
I've been using tasker for a couple years so I'm comfortable with it, I just think I got myself a little lost
Cheers
This works natively on my N6. Is contact sharing "enabled" in the headset settings (under Bluetooth)?

Yes it is. That was the first thing I circled when I started trying to build this recipe.
Could you please post the *description* of the profile.
"find somebody that you think is undeserving of your compassion and give it to them" - Christian Picciolini
Sure
Profile.
State:
Call, incoming : %C:ANY or %CNAME
Also tried auto notification intercept pointed at Google voice.
Task.
Say:
Call from %CNAME or %C:ANY . I've tried these together and separately with both upper and lower case combinations.
I didn't know if I need to set a variable, or even what variable I should set?
Thanks for any help.
Cheers
The exported description provides much more information than than that.
To export the description of the profile:
Make sure it's named - not a default name assigned by tasker. To name the profile if it isn't already, long press on the name to highlight the profile and, at the top, tap the square with the A.
Long press on the name to highlight the profile. Go to the 3-dot menu and select export -> Description to Clipboard.
Now you'll be able to paste it. Be aware, it easier to use pastebin.com and link to a post here. If you paste in a post here, the forum software will convert all semicolons with characters directly after to emoticons making it very hard to read.

thanks again for the great tip!!!

I have no experience with the notification listener plug-in. I use AutoNotification which is from the same developer as the current Tasker developer. It works reliably for me.
If the profile is not triggering, I would test the plug-in function by creating a simple test using a notification you can control. Then see if the notification listener is triggering on that notification using a beep action. It's possible that the notification listener plug-in requires the title of the notification or such.
