Help Can I set 'last redialled number' to a specific number"

[Android Question]

(Very) long story short(er), I'm disabled and live alone. Instead of one of those chunky grey medi-alert pendants for the elderly, complete with enormous yearly subscription, I keep an extra cheap phone (SG Trend2 Lite) plugged into in my hallway with WiFi and Bluetooth on all the time, with €15 PAYG credit, and a series of silly little Bluetooth speakers stashed all over my apartment. So anywhere, including in the shower, I can play my music, check the time by TTS, and redial the last dialled number (that's the part I want to mess with) by single clicking the buttons for play, track up, track down. I use a combination of Headset Droid, Lazy Car, and TTS for all button/call/text management.

Anyway, I know the 'last dialled number' is a thing saved in the phone where whatever number the phone app used last gets stored, and so the Bluetooth device just points to that storage space when you ask for a redial. I want to set a specific number to be dialled in place of the most recent, so I can use the phone ordinarily but not have to worry about having to call my mother from my emergency number every single time I need to reset.

Widjets won't work, Headset Droid doesn't see them. I can adjust HD so it runs another app when I single click play (currently it redials), so long as it then dials a specific number with no further input...

Any ideas?

Kinda stumped.

The only possible way I can think to accomplish this would be using an app like Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm

There's a 7 day trial version here: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/

You might be able to configure Tasker so that whenever you single click (or enter a combination of clicks), it opens the dialer and dials a certain contact/number? I'm in work but happy to have a play about with it when I go on my break later.

This is a 1st, anxious to see how this works out.
My wife is a simple sort with these phones, and that could help me out.

Ok, you can definitely set Tasker to open the dialer & dial a certain number, but I can't find a way of setting it to do that when the headset button is clicked.

Can you set Headset Droid to open a certain app? If yes, you can then have Tasker use that app as the trigger to open the dialer and dial the number you want.

does your phone support "long press" autodial out?

ie, I have
#1 goes to Voice Mail ( and is a default on all Verizon phones )
#2 set for a friend whom I visit with 3-5 times a week... we are old truckers...
#3 for my wife
#4 for our son
#6 for our daughter
#9 for my legal team if case I ever have to fire my CCW at someone.
.......if anyone cares, that is U.S. Lawshield, you can google it.

if I want to talk to one of them, I just hold down that digit for 2 or 3 seconds and release.
the phone will autodial the Shortcut # to that person.
