💡 Idea

Right now, to integrate with tasker (on getting a ntfy) you need to listen to intents; however, this gets triggered on all incoming ntfy messages. I think most users run a task ( a Tasker profile) on a given topic, so we have to filter on that topic in a task. This is doable but not ideal. It forces Tasker's tasks to determine if they should run (not the profile) and Tasker has to start up all ntfy tasks which slows down execution (granted, this is minimal for most users with just a few ntfy tasks).

It is possible to have an android app plugin to Tasker (https://tasker.joaoapps.com/plugins-intro.html). Mqtt Client does this (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.dc297.mqttclpro&hl=en_US&gl=US). I propose a Tasker plugin be incorporated in to the main Ntfy Android App. This plugin would allow you to create a Tasker profile that would allow the user to select a specific Ntfy topic that a user is subscribed to as the trigger.

In addition, instead of using intents or url to send a ntfy from Tasker, the plugin could allow sending ntfy messages as an action.
