Home screen? Where is that?

[MURTUMA]

I have made this nifty little flow that allows you use volume buttons to turn phone silent and back. I'd like that to work only when I'm at home screen to minimize accidental silencing of phone. However I'm unable to find a way for automagic to determine when I'm at home screen.

I'd like a way to do that universally, regardless of home launcher or at least easy way to tweak the flow to work in different launchers. Currently I'm using smart launcher pro.

Here the flow: http://automagic4android.com/flow.php?i ... ca4309ffaa

Unfortunately the procedure is not launcher independent.

Condition App Task Running also creates a variable index that indicates the order of the tasks (0=top).

For testing purposes it can be helpful to check the value of index with a flow:
-trigger Periodic Timer: every 10s
-condition App Task Running: com.android.launcher
-->true: -action "Notification on Screen: {index}"

You can use this to check if you are on the launcher:
-condition App Task Running: com.android.launcher
-->true: -condition "Expression: index==0"
----->true: your actions

Many thanks! That was exactly what I needed.

EDIT: It seems this method is applicable to some of my other flows too to make them simpler and erase some loop checks to make them more battery friendly. Maybe I should start learning some codeing.
