Hardware shortcut to mute mic while in call (using volume rocker sequence)

Action sequence: Toggle volume rocker up/down/up/down
Reaction: Phone mic mute toggles on/off

I would EASILY use this feature 20 times daily -- I spend all day on conference calls while multi-tasking, doing dishes, etc, dogs barking

Getting to the mute/unmute microphone feature can take a good 15 seconds if your phone locks itself, or you're in the middle of some other apps, etc.

I see I'm about seven years late to the party, but ... Tasker

I know exactly what you are saying and I am in all the way :)
In fact, there are a lot of apps out there which facilitate the creation of some extra functionalities to your phone.
I have developed the Muter only because I couldn't find any app to "mute/un-mute my phone with volume keys at any situation only while i am in a meeting or during the working hours" :)

I love tinkering with gadget apps, and I didn't notice that you'd made one to address the issue, which I'll take a look at, thanks, Ali!
