Does anyone know how to set up a profile in tasker to have minimalist text display the unread count?
I've searched google and came across this site:
http://tasker.wikidot.com/gmail-sms-call-notifications-with-minimalistic-text
I've imported the profiles but still couldn't get it displayed.
Any help? Suggestions?
I got it working.
You actually have to check the "Accessibility" in the settings.
Go into your phone's settings>Accessibility>Put a check mark beside accessibility and then beside Tasker.

Hi,
I'm on ROM Batista 3.5 with a very strange and annoying problem: the menu option to change the ringtone for my Gmail accounts is missing. On my HTC Desire I simply go to Gmail-Menu-More-Settings-Notification settings- Select ringtone.
On my Galaxy S2 this menu option is completely missing. I can go to Gmail-Menu-More-Settings-(pick an account)-Notification settings, but the select ringtone and all the other E-mail notification options are just not there. I'm pretty sure I had the exact same problem on ROM Litening v5.0. Google/XDA search seems to suggest I'm the only one so far facing this problem.
The E-mail notification is now set as the sms ringtone and its' driving me nuts. Does anyone know how I can change or at least kill the E-mail ringtone (and reactivate the relevant menu options in the settings menu)? Am I totally daft and missing the menu option or is something more serious going on in my ROM?
Solved!
Apparently you have to click through to "labels to notify" to get to the settings. No idea which Korean engineer came up with that one, but at least it's solved...
I don't have that ROM or that problem, but thanks for posting the solution. No doubt someone else will have the same problem.
This problem only occurs from Gmail 2.3.5 onwards, because they changed the location of the settings.
I can not find this setting anywhere either. Been hunting for 30 minutes now.
I went to labels but I don't see anything there either. Where the heck did they hide these settings?
EDIT:
Menu -> More -> Settings
Under the account settings heading, tap your email account name.
Scroll to the bottom.
Tap Labels to notify.

Thanks for this...I to was gong nuts trying to find it after flashing 2.3.5 rom!
Hey,
I'm new to android and i have used this forums a lot,
But now after i've searched for like several hours (Both here and in google..) for a solution and haven't found it i decided to sign up and ask it...
I'm using "Minimal Text" widget for my lockscreen (WidgetLocker)
and i want to add a Unread SMS Count number,
I Understood i need to create a Locale Variable for this one and read the tutorial on the "Minimalistic Text Wiki".
I Must add i'm also a complete noob with the "Tasker" app and just downloaded it for this particular use of creating a Variable.
The problem is, even after reading and doing exactly what the tutorial says,
And even trying to create a Variable manually in Tasker i just can't display it on the Minimal text widget no matter how much i try..
What could be the problem?
Are you setting the minimalistic text variable? For example, on your text received profile you should have two actions. The first sets a variable, lets say %SMSUNREAD. The second is Minimalistic Text variable, under plugins. For this you configure the variable name to be something else (%MNMLSMSUNREAD for example) and the content is %SMSUNREAD. You then configure Minimalistic text to use %MNMLSMSUNREAD.
Also you need to make sure Tasker is selected in Settings>Accessibility as an Accessibility Service.
Lastly, there seems to be reported issues with Tasker and deodexed roms. Are you running a custom Rom?
Hope that helps.
First of all thanks for the reply,
I noticed i Don't have tasker checked on Accessibility, Neither "Accessibility" checked.
I've checked them both but still, it doesn't show the amount of unread SMS...
here is what i have:
Tasker -
"New SMS" profile:
Received Text,*,* -
Variable Set "%SMSCOUNT" to "%SMSCOUNT + 1"
Minimalistic Text variable settings "%MNMLSMSCOUNT = %SMSCOUNT"
"Reset SMS" profile:
Messages (stock android messages app) -
Variable Set "%SMSCOUNT" to "0"
Minimalistic Text variable settings "%MNMLSMSCOUNT = %SMSCOUNT"
And of course a locale variable in the Minimalistic Text widget of "%MNMLSMSCOUNT" but still, Shows nothing.
I have just done some testing with Tasker and it seems like Nothing i try work,
For example i made a new profile with the task of showing some custom notification when i receive SMS,
or Display a popup when i turn my BT on, and Nothing happens....
What can i do to make tasker even work?!
PS. in my notifications bar i have "No Active Profiles" under tasker although it's all On...
Alright just wanted to update you, got it to work,
Well i just made it from the beginning Not following the tutorial,
Instead of the "%Variable + 1" i used the "Variable Add" oprion and WITHOUT the "Do Math" check.
I've seen it's possible to have a user profile photo display as your user icon when you swipe down to show the notification bar in Lollipop. However, mine just shows the generic bobblehead icon - although I have a perfectly good profile photo on my Google account.
Am I being an idiot and missing some obvious feature, or should it always propagate down from your Google profile?

Do you have Google+ installed? It is needed. If you do go into settings and make sure the contacts area is checked.
I've noted in the Mate 10, but it's likely to be an Oreo thing, I can't seem to set a custom tone for new mail notification. In the Mate 9, it was under settings, my email address and inbox, sound and vibrate. That option is in Gmail under Oreo on the Mate 10 but the option to set a custom tone is missing...am I missing something?
No-one? Can anyone confirm what I'm seeing??
OK so I guess no-one uses Gmail?
Its changed in Oreo. Now there's a section in settings, after you click your email address called "Manage notifications". Tap on this. Then, under the section saying "Email Normal Allow these notifications to make sounds", which should be 'on', tap on this. You can set the sound in the next section.
Jeez. Not one guide on interwebs saying how to do this!
I use Gmail and cannot separate the tones from texting and gmail. I do not have the section saying "Email Normal Allow these notifications to make sounds". Anyone have a solution?
Dump the G-mail app (disable & clear data under "Apps") and install K-9 Mail. Everything's configurable (and I do mean everything!), works brilliantly, is lighter in weight than the G-mail app, and is completely free.
Here is how it is done...in the Oreo world...
Open Gmail > top left hamburger > settings > General settings > Manage notifications > Long press on the word "Mail" not the toggle itself but right on the word, and another secret, hidden, stupid, settings menu will open and it's in here where you can choose a separate tone for email as well as turn on the notification light for Gmail.
Thank you. Your solution worked well with my Huawei Mate 10 Pro in Gmail and Messanger
Couldnt find any solution to change the notification sound for twitter. Any help is welcome. I followed the same steps as mentioned above.

Sorry, don't get it. Can you make a screen dump of the location where to long press.
I need the option to select sound while editing the labels

It is exactly as I stated in my original directions...it could not be any clearer.
Once you tap on "Manage notifications" it will take you to the screen "App notifications" then you long press directly on the word MAIL which is directly under your email address.
You can also long press on the other "words" listed there for different notification settings. The words are to the left of the screen...the toggles are to the right.
Also, if you're looking to be able to set a different tone based on a label you created...I don't think that is possible.
FWIW, it Doesn't have to be a log press. just touch the mail part.
Mine says "Email" but great, it worked.

Thank you so much! I've had my Huawei P10 for almost a year and couldn't find where to add custom notification to Gmail. It's so frustrating when they do stupid ish like this because pretty much every other explanation says go to manage notification but not detailed enough to say click on title. I had the Huawei P6 and was impressed with Huawei enough to make it my go to brand but this ish frustrated me enough to consider another brand.
Well it just changes the default notification sound for me.
Several apps I have installed like to post momentary notifications when they perform something in the background (presumably so they don't get killed). These notifications bug the crap out of me and I'd like to disable their respective notification channels. However, they don't appear long enough for me to lower the notification shade and long press on them. So I have tried to determine what channel they come from using numerous notification history apps, but none of these apps have been able to show me what channel the notifications are from. Does anyone know of one of these apps that does show the channel or some other way to determine what channel the notifications come from?

Hi,
Maybe you could try to check in the stock notification history. To find it go to widgets and create a setting shortcut. There will be a list which will contain "Notification Log" or smt like that. Create the shortcut and when you'll see those fast notification just check your history right away. In the best case you'll find the channel, but if you're not lucky, you'll still got the app that does it and turn all its notification off (if it is really annoying)
Have a good day

I'm on Samsung Galaxy S20+ so the settings shortcut doesn't work. I have no difficulty getting the offending application, there are dozens of apps that will show a notification history, but I've been unable to find one that shows the notification channel.

If the settings shortcut method doesn't work, I don't have any other alternatives. I've never heard of an app that could retrieve the Channel, but I knew that it was possible to have the Channel ID in the notification log. In Android 11, this "notification history" feature will be added, and you'll have much more infos than right now.
Use the good lock app "Nice Catch".
