AutoNotification Launch Youtube Disable notifications from Whatsapp, etc

Hi all,

I am trying to create a profile to block notifications when launching apps like youtube, or any video player.. Its very irritating when I stream to TV and notification keeps popping up. I tried using the AutoNotification Block to block out all apps when i launch youtube for example, but notifications are still coming through. Any idea?

 

This is the first profile, but i realized that after setting up it doesnt matter if i run VLC or not, all whatsapp msgs are blocked, so i went to 2nd solution.

1st Try:
<TaskerData sr="" dvi="1" tv="5.2.bf1">

2nd try: Using the Cancel Function, I selected Cancel all, but it didn't seem to stop anything. Not sure if I used the functions correctly. My ideal is to Start VLC, Intercept and stop all notifications from coming in, but will still beep the phone and allow messages from 1 or 2 pre-set contacts to come through. Many thanks.. i am still quite new and tried to look through some videos but still cant get it right

 

I realized after i sent this msg out, that all i needed to do was add an exit task to unblock once i close VLC... That would solve the blocking all message part -_-''''

Now if i may then go to the question on how do i let certain contact's msg pass through while i block the rest?

thanks!!!

 

Yes! I've managed to set the profile to mute and with exception to users.. its really more flexible and creates more usage than to invoke a DnD mode. Thanks!
