Tasker and WhatsApp

Hi ladies and gentlemen

I am looking to use Tasker to solve a problem I have with whatsapp, namely the previewing of messages in the notification bar.

The solution provided online of turning off notifications didn't quite work as I was unable to tell when a message arrived unless I happened to hear the alert.

I installed WhatsTasker and granted root access. And built a profile that gives a notification bar entry on receipt of a new message from WhatsApp... Worked well and so I took the plunge and switched off whatsapp notifications in the settings tab.

2 problems occurred :

1. In the absence of the whatsapp notification the profile did not become active even when a message was received.

2. The profile worked when I switched whatsapp notification back on.... But there is a popup black box saying WhatsTasker has been granted superuser permission for an interactive shell. Not a big problem but annoying enough to want to fix.

Anybody have any advice on how to fix these issues?

Thanks!
