Tasks are not shown in notifications. Profiles are. Tasks are initiated by profiles.

Long press your profile's name. Click on the gear at the top. See if "Show in notification" is checked. If it IS checked, the profiles name will be shown. If it IS NOT checked, it will only show that a profile is active.

Do what people say, and you will see the difference...
Just do it and you will understand!

Thank PC 

I think it could be done with Zooper and tasker variable %PACTIVE 

Could anyone help me out with this 

Thanks

I name my profiles with short names. Perhaps yours have long names and it just gives a count to keep it concise? Make two profiles active and open Tasker to see if the active profiles have long names. Manually rename them with a single word. Back out of Tasker (not using home button) and check your notifications again. If you delete the name you gave it, the profile will again be shown by the context.

I have 5 to 6 profiles that remain active and I don't want to shorten the profile name

I think we should go for zooper widget 
What do you suggest 


Thanks

Why use zooper?


You can have Tasker put up a notification with all active profiles but you need to use a plug in like auto notification or notification listener to get it to expand. Just use a context of event-> variable set- %PACTIVE


Or you can just have a task shortcut on your home screen to flash the names.
