Help Notification doesn't update when phone is locked.

[greg2k8]

I am monitoring my garage door to see whether it's open or closed. The garage door sends me emails of it's state. I'm using Tasker K-9 plugin to receive notifications and use Tasker to create my own custom notifications. Everything works fine, except for one problem. Whenever the phone is locked and there is a change in state, the notification doesn't update unless I unlock the phone.

How can I resolve this?

Thanks.
