Short answer: no, Android doesn't allow apps to access notification text.  If you have a rooted phone, you can play around with the shell command:

dumpsys notification

... and see what you can come up with.

Any updates on this? Would like to be able to parse notification text as well.

Hi!

I wanted to create myself a widget with minimalistic text that displays unanswered calls/SMS/EMails on my WidgetLocker-screen

There is a number of recipies for that on the internet, but as far as I can only tell they only display the number of missed items but no information about the items (mostly I think by getting a notification event from the application in question and incrementing a counter). I hardly ever have more than one call I missed at a time so the number of calls is irrelevant to me. I want to know whom I missed (whether I have to bother to unlock my phone to call back)

I understand that for instance the GMail application doesn't allow other applications to access EMail (not an unsensible decision).

So my idea was: the information in the notifications is quite enough for me ("Missed call from +43666", "Email from jobs#apple.com", ...). Is there a way in Tasker to get the contents of a notification (Title and or text) into a variable? Then I could transfer that to Minimalistic Text and be happy.

If this doesn't work: is this because it is technically not possible in Android or because no such feature is implemented in Tasker?

Why it should be get from notification ? You can grab it from a variables. CNAME, SMSRB, SMSRN, email won't work without K9.

This is incorrect.  The applications that require access to OTHER APP notifications can register as an "accessibility" service.  They will receive all text entered through notifications and keyboard.  It's primary purpose is to provide text-to-speech for the blind, but can be used for apps like Tasker and LightFlow.  That said, it can't tell when the notification is/was cleared, just tapped.

Tasker even tells you as such when you try to use a "notification click" event.
