    Hi.
    I followed your instructions but still can't receive the value of the notification button on the same task that created it.

    I added flash alerts after each step to see if any action stops executing. A flash confirms that the report action has completed, but I couldn't see any values set on the wait action variable (I added a flash action for the wait action variable, but it flashes the variable name %answer).

    Code (Text):

    Test Notify And Wait (111)
        A1: AutoNotification [ Configuration:Use HTML: false
    Title: Testing Notifications
    Text: Are you feeling okay?
    Status Bar Text Size: 16
    Is Group Summary: false
    Skip Picture Cache: false
    Button 1: yes
    Label 1: Yes
    Icon 1: navigation_accept_dark
    Button 2: no
    Label 2: No
    Icon 2: navigation_cancel_dark
    Update Notification: false
    Only on Phone: false Timeout (Seconds):20 ]
        A2: AutoTools Action Wait [ Configuration:IMPORTANT: this wait will always time out if tested manually in a Task.
    Because of the way Tasker works, events won't trigger when a Task is being manually tested, so there's no way you can run the 'Action Report' Tasker action in a different task in this situation.
    You can only use this in a real, 'non-testing' situation.
    Request Id: autoappscommand
    Variables: %Answer
    Last Variable Array: false Timeout (Seconds):10 ]
        A3: Flash [ Text:%Answer Long:Off ]
        A4: Flash [ Text:Wooooho... I have done it... Long:On ] If [ %Answer ~ yes ]
        A5: Flash [ Text:Done Long:Off ]

    I think you forgot to set the Report Data field in the Report action :)

    Followed your process and all worked as expected except when I added a cancel notification the Tasker shortcut was deleted.
    Wait For Notification (101)
    A1: AutoNotification [ Configuration:Title: Are you sure?
    Text: Do you really want to do that?
    Status Bar Text Size: 16
    Button 1: yes
    Label 1: Yes
    Button 2: no
    Label 2: No Timeout (Seconds):20 ]
    A2: AutoTools Action Wait [ Configuration:IMPORTANT: this wait will always time out if tested manually in a Task.
    Because of the way Tasker works, events won't trigger when a Task is being manually tested, so there's no way you can run the 'Action Report' Tasker action in a different task in this situation.

    You can only use this in a real, 'non-testing' situation.

    Request Id: autoappscommand
    Variables: answer Timeout (Seconds):10 ]
    A3: Flash [ Text:The answer was yes. Long:Off ] If [ %answer ~ yes ]
    A4: AutoNotification Cancel [ Configuration:Notification Title: Are you sure? Timeout (Seconds):0 ]
    A5: Back Button
    Shortcut was deleted also when ID autoappscommand was specified.

    Sorry but AutoNotification can't delete home screen shortcuts. It must be something else in your system :(
