NTITLE variable function appears to no longer work in nougat

[Graham Salogar]

I had a profile that would give different audio notifications from my Twitter notifications based on the NTITLE. I had another one that would text to speech them too. After the 7.0 update, Tasker seems to no longer be able to find the NTITLE.

Workaround or solution?

Use Notification Listener plugin to grab the notification and then read %nltitle and %nltext

[Graham Salogar]

When I go to use the Notification Listener plugin, no option seems to pop up that will grab by NTITLE.

Sounds like we need Pent to update Tasker to use the notification API properly.

Because you can filter in the task, for example:

if %nltitle ~ *my special title*
  ....do something....
end if

I replaced %NTITLE with %nltitle and no luck.

Please, post profile and task description

[Graham Salogar]

Profile:

Event-Notification Owner App Twitter- Task-Twitter Notify: If %NTITLE matches X then play notification y

That is the main idea of the task, have a lot of if with the %NTITLE matching/not matching criteria in it that worked fine in previous versions of Android (and still work with my tablet on Marshmallow).

Installed Notification Listener Plugin and replaced %NTITLE with %nltitle and no luck. Also tried making Notification Listener the owner app and no luck.

It can't work in that way. If you want to use the plugin, you need to change the profile using a condition with the plugin not Tasker. Event->Plugin->Notification Listener. Select the app and the event "posted". Remember to grant access to the notifications for the plugin in your Android settings, open Notification Listener app, if you didn't do it, it will give you a warning

Bingo! Figured my usage was wrong somewhere. Thanks!

The Notification event and %NTITLE should be working again (and better) next update
for 7.0 (and possibly earlier) devices.
