AutoNotification Auto Notification and Google play music

I'm trying to create an auto notification intercept profile to intercept Google Play Music notifications, so I can grab the track, artist, album and cover art. With a view to replacing Media Utilities.
However, my profile is firing multiple times, ie a tracknplays and the profile will fire more than once.
I set up a basic flash to show me what's happening and it seems to be active, then inactive, the active again...?
I've attached the profile description...

Profile: AN Intercept Play Music (209)
State: AutoNotification Intercept [ Configuration:Event Behaviour: true
Notification Type: Only Created Notifications
Persistency Type: Persistent Only
Notification App: Google Play Music
Package Name: com.google.android.music (exact)

A1: Flash [ Text:%track
%artist
%album
%albumart Long:Off ]

Exit: Anon (214)
A1: Flash [ Text:Exit Long:Off ]

 

@Rich Wallace did you try %anid %anpackage variables instead of writing the values.

 

That doesn't make any sense?
I don't need the notification id or app package...
Please reread my post carefully before replying.

 

Ah OK @joaomgcd
I suspected this but was hip ng otherwise.
Does it mean I need to set a global variable?
I guess so?

 

Did you ever able get this working correctly? If so, could you show us a demo and how you did it? I too would be interested in this.

 

Yes I did actually!
Here is the profile description...
(Ive removed some other Java function actions from the start....hence why it starts at A5...

A14: Variable Set [ Name:%TrackCoverart To:%albumart Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]

A18: End If
A19: End If
A20: Flash [ Text:%anapp Long:Off ]

This will work if you use Play Music and Spotify, but can be adapted to work with as many media players as you please, just add in additional 'Else if [%anapp eq MEDIA PLAYER]' conditions.

 

You are the man @Rich Wallace

I'm going to try this.

 

I took some other approach that might be some kind of off topic since it doesn't use auto notification.

Using the broadcasted intend com.android.music.metachanged has some great advantages. But first: No Cover Art! ;(

Code (Text):

Event: Intent Received [ Action:com.android.music.metachanged Cat:None Cat:None Scheme:* Mime Type:* ]

A1: Variable Set [ Name:%TrackCurrentShort To:%track - %artist Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]
A2: Variable Set [ Name:%TrackCurrent To:%track - %artist
(%album) Do Maths:Off Append:Off ]

I found some nice documents on the net after finding out the Intent name. Two to be mentioned:
Hybrid- Analysis Facebook APK Analysis since - if there is anybody - tracking anything going on on your device it will be Facebook. Searching for the mentioned intent, you'll see quite a nice list of other intents that might catch your interest. PROtip: Don't read through the list if you have Facebook installed... Just saying

Source Code of a Broadcast Receiver used by a lyrics-app for giving a nice overview of available intent extras.

My Google Play Music sends (just prepend a "%" for tasker usage; all conversions are done):

Code (Text):

streaming: true
position: 42514
album: Smokid Inc.
currentsongloaded: true
track: Have a Look Out
listposition: 6
listsize: 52

duration: 213000
previewplaytype: -1
supportsrating: true
domain: 2
artist: Smokey Joe & The Kid

local: true
preparing: false
inerrorstate: false

Not tired reading? ^^ Okay, let one last thing be said:

This intent is not only fired by play music but also by many other apps! I can proof that for Spotify and YouTube. But even my email-app's default audio player app sends that one. I found that out wile checking my "played tracks" log. ;-) So I think most audio playing apps will fire that very intent. So it's great to create a playlist after an evening. I store some info beside the mentioned to be able to create some - more or less - fancy Playlist:
https://api.kruu.de/files/playlist.html - I was just playing around with google charts api -- It's easy!

 

Just to complete that one. I found all data needed (if on google). The key is %anicon()! It provides the album cover as local file! Details for all functions that return something with Play Music:

added missing %anbutton4icon() and %anbutton5icon().
