Been looking for a way to trigger a task via my car's screen using android auto. I have found a way to get this working and thought I'd share.

• Create a phone contact for your task, I set the number to #*1 for my first task

• Add an android auto launcher shortcut to this contact in AA settings on your phone

• Create a tasker profile with a logcat trigger and use component "LASTMESSAGEI" and filter "Received last update #*1 - Calling via" changing to match your number (optionally add your carrier at the end"

• Add your task. I have the first action as end call then call my task with perform task

yesterday in the customize launcher screen I had an option to 'Add a shortcut to the launcher' but today that option has disappeared. I've just spend an hour trying to fix it with clearing cache, reinstalling, down and upgrading AA and nothing has fixed it. Any ideas?
