Hi everyone, having a bit of a problem. I created a notification profile with SmartThings was the app owner which is to launch Deezer once the notification "play music" is received from SmartThings. I use a Samsung galaxy s6 running Android Nougat. Now I get the notifications but tha task never fires at all. Can anyone help

Notification not triggering task in Tasker

The following profile/task will display Sample each time t;a5 is run.
Profile: Sample
Event: Notification [ Owner Application:* Title:tla5 Text:* Subtext:* Messages:* Other Text:* Cat:* New Only:Off ]
Enter: Anon
A1: Flash [ Text:Sample Long:On ]
tla5
A1:: Notify [ Title:tla5 Text: Icon:null Number:0 Permanent:Off Priority:3 ]
The answerto your question is unknown. I suggest that you start out with something simple and when it works add to it. You will then evolve into a solution.

Post the definition here of what you currently have that is not working for you the say you want.
---
Did you try the example I posted?
There are many ways it can be coded wrong. The simplest way to trigger is to only specify the title of the notification you want to trigger on.
If you get the simplest one working then you can constrain the definition more and more as you see fit.

Test your launched task by itself to see that it actually does stop the music. If that works then use the title of a notification as a trigger leaving the other fields blank.

I was confused by what you posted. I have a feeling that the following is what you were trying to do …
deezer stop (578)

Ok let me explain; i have a Deezer app which is a music app, when it's playing, I want to be able to stop the music when a notification is sent and rescue on the tablet it's playing on. I've tried a whole lot of combination with notification but no luck, maybe I'm doing something wrong, however if I use sms received as the stop trigger, it works flawlessly.

I think there is some confusion about what a Notification is. In everything you have posted I see nothing that posts a Notification.
Did you try …
deezer stop (578)
A1: Notify [ Title:stop Text: Icon:null Number:0 Permanent:Off Priority:3 ]
… did it work?

I believe the following does it. I would have to wait 24 hours to guarantee that it does.
After creating the Profile/Task and Task you need to set the time in %TimeItVar and run SetTime once.
Profile: TimeIt
Time: From %TimeItVar
Enter: Anon
A1: Flash [ Text:>> %TIME << Long:On ]
SetTime
A1: Variable Set [ Name:%TimeItVar To:9:05 Recurse Variables:Off Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]
A2: Flash [ Text:Time Set Long:On ]

That is not possible. I have no idea what it is that you want explained?
You need to create the Profile/Task and Task and then execute the Task. This should result in a Flash of the time appearing at 9:05a every day.

Change the time I set in SetTime to 5:00 and then run SetTime. When 5:00a comes around it will display the time in a flash.
Replace the Flash with something that launches the app you want to launch.

There is a problem with the previous example that I posted. If the device is rebooted the profile is triggered even when not at the desired time.
The following example corrects this problem. The TimeIt task must be run once to set the desired time. It will then continue to run even after the device is rebooted. It will display the Flash every day at 14.40,
Profile: TimeIt
Time: From %TimeIt
Enter: TimeIt
A1: If [ %TimeIt !Set ]
A2: Variable Set [ Name:%TimeIt To:14.40 Recurse Variables:Off Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]
A3: End If
A4: If [ %TimeIt ~ %TIME ]
A5: Flash [ Text:>> %TIME << Long:On ]
A6: End If
After the example is working for you change the time in A2 and the action in A5.
