Minimizing incoming/outgoing call to floating icon on Note 4 when navigation app is on

[Łukasz Kowalczyk]

Hello everyone!

I've got Note 4. I'm driving a lot with navi apps. When someone is calling, the call comes fullscreen on my phone and the navi app goes background :(

I would like some sort of task, which will minimize call to the floating icon (not sure if this is Samsung Note 4 / Touchwiz / 5.x android geature only), or at least hit home button and recall last navi app back fullscreen. Is it possible? What are your ideas to achieve that?

Or maybe there's a way to put the call window to minimize state, by swipe diagonal, If you know what I mean...

I have the same case and I use Google Maps. To sort out the problem, I use AutoNotification to query if Maps has persistent notification, I launch Maps (which brings it front).

Could you share your profile / Task with me?

Maybe I could adopt it to my case... I use some scene to choose which navi app I would like to use. Then I parse to a variable which app was chosen - for some reason.

Maybe I could do something like this:

Profile->var="google maps" & incoming call

Task: minimize call (maybe home button & launch app from var value? But I've got a fecking that the minimize task will have veeeery long duration :( )

You do not want to minimize just launch the app.

I will share the profile later.

Yeah but this way I will have active call only on status bar, and I want it as floating icon like on original firmware for note 4, when you hit home button.

I do not have Note, I cannot test. However, I'm pretty sure it can be achieved using AutoInput.

Is not note 4 feature. It's Marshmallow feature. When you drag your finger diagonally from upper right corner you can choose if app should be minimize to icon, deploy screen with another app or go fullscreen. I was wondering if can set tasker to automatically minimize phone app when a call is received.

No, I have a note 4, this is for note 4 (Samsung touch wiz) others don't have this.

@Marta

Do you know some trick to achieve what I want?

With Marshmallow man could minimize phone app to an icon....

There is also possibility to record active window label somehow, and then, if there is incoming phone - answer the call, go homescreen and launch the app again, which was last recorded with window label. Now: HOW TO DO THAT?
