Beep on unread notification

[Tom]

I bet this is really easy but I can't work out how to do it. I want to
create a profile to beep once every 10 minutes if I have any unread
notifications (e.g. missed call, unread text, etc.)

How can I do this?

Many thanks

Hey Tom,

Missed Call: create a state Missed Call.
Add a Time Context repeating 10 mins.

But in general: what do you mean by 'unread notification'. You havn't
clicked on it in the status bar pulldown
or you havn't pulled the windowshade down and looked at it ?

Wrote something like this for my SMS messages this morning. Have a
look! :)

PROFILES-
MissedSMS - State: Recieved SMS
Enter: Variable Set %SMSMISSED to True
Perform task: VibIn5
ClearSMS - State: Display Unlocked
Enter: Variable Clear %SMSMISSED

TASKS-
VibIn5-
Stop (If %SMSMISSED in not set)
Wait 10 min
Stop (If %SMSMISSED in not set)
Vibrate (Time 200)
Goto Action (Number 1)

[Tom]

Either would work for this I guess

[Tom]

This is a big help but is there a way to change Vibrate to set off the
default notification alert noise?

[CW Larson]

Do you mean change to silent mode or using a notification tone instead
of vibrating?

[CW Larson]

There is a mute notifications for tasks. I would add it after the
first variable check (Action 1) in the VibIn5 task.
Audio -> Notification Volume (Level 0, Display Unchecked, Sound
Unchecked)

Oops that was a bit ambiguous wasn't it! I meant to use a tone instead
of vibrating.

[CW Larson]

That is what I thought you ment. :)

You can instead replace my vibrate with a notification sound.

Media -> Ringtone (Type: Notification, Sound [long press on box to
select])

Does that answer your question better?

[Tom]

That's brill thanks!

[CW Larson]

Not a problem!

Then to add the Missed Calls, just clone the MissedSMS profile from
above but use the Missed Call state instead of received SMS. The
ClearSMS & VibIn5 will take care of the rest!

You guys seem happy so I'll leave you too it.

Just to add: next version you can detect both the windowshade coming
down and a notification
being clicked (if you enable Tasker's accessibility service).

Awesome Pent! That will make things a little easier, thanks!
