Hi, 

Is there a way not to have (permanent) Notification Title, just Actions icons?
Is there a way to have more than 3 actions?
I tried black title icon, and space in Title, but its appeared in an additional row than the actions.

I would start a few Tasker Tasks from notifications like Notification Shortcuts
Regards,
Robert

no there's not. for the title you can just add a few spaces to create a blank title but the max buttons is 3 no matter what. unless somewhere between 4.1 and 4.4 they added the ability to add more buttons.

Im pretty sure notifications have to have a title and a icon. See here.

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html

You can create your own custom notification though I saw one with  6 buttons before so its possible, but not In Tasker.

With Autonotification you can add more actions, but not buttons.

Hi Guys.

Thanks so much for so quick responses. :)
Sorry to hear no for both my question, but no problem...

Until more actions are allowed in Tasker,  I will use Notification Shortcuts from Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.nicolai.buch.andersen.ns

You need to make a custom Notification layout in a real application.

In Autonotification you can run tasks multiple ways, 3 action buttons, swiping away a notification, tapping the notification etc but you can only have 3 buttons.

If your curious here's the app with 6 buttons.

Ok. I see! :)

Thanks for help. 
But Notification Shortcuts have 7!! icon in 3 row !
It is good solution for me... 
My only concern was to do everything with Tasker if it possible.

If you no java maybe you could write your own custom notification in Tasker 4.6

Unfortunately not. :)

I've just discovered, the app I mentioned, can put 12 icon in one row!!! Amazing.
More than enough for me.
