Android "Ticker" feature

Post by icefox56 » 05 Oct 2019 09:00

Is there a way to bring back the Android "Ticker" feature natively in automagic or is this only possible with the apps mentioned in the link below. Can somebody give me some guidance on how to port this task from Tasker to Automagic.

I am lazy to install tasker to download the project. As my comment in xda : https://www.xda-developers.com/android- ... er-tasker/
I would just use widget, show in above statusbar. Split the notification text into several lines and show in the widget with delay. No animation though, as widget don't support animation.
Other easier method is to use toast message, split the notification text and show as toast message just below the statusbar.

I don't have any Tasker trial left to test it, that's why I asked here. But your method sounds really interesting. I'm going to try that out, I wish there were support for simple animations in widget.

Thanks for sharing this idea.
