Bug: Persistent Notification doesn't show active profiles (if Set Tasker Pref action is used)

[Alexander Graetz]

Hi!

One of my apps has to run in foreground from time to time tp prevent Android from killing it. The persistent notification is supposed to show the active profiles so I created a profile that's always active (State - Variable Value) and named it something useful (like "App is active"). But still the persistent notification reads "No active profiles". It seems that if I use the action "Tasker - Set Tasker Pref - Run in Foreground" the notification doesn't show the active profiles, neither in the exported kid app nor in Tasker.

If I set Tasker to "Run in Foreground" within its settings the profiles are shown properly.

Any chance to get this fixed?

So, to clarify, if you change the setting via the action it doesn't work, but if you change it via the app's settings it does work? Thanks

Ok, thanks. I'll add this to my bug list.

Thanks! I am impressed how fast you seem to get things going after you've taken over.

Thank you :) Hopefully I manage to not break the app once I start modifying it :D

Ok so it does seem to work but there is some lag / weird behaviour. Sometimes the info is updated right after changed to running in foreground but more often it takes a (long) while till the notification says e.g. "2 profiles active".

But I am kinda bummed that the notification doesn't show the name of the profile like the regular tasker notification does but instead only how many profiles are active.

Thank you. I'll try figuring out what might be causing that.
