Automatically launching apps on events e.g. headphone plug in

Hi All,

I've come back to samsung with an S7 after being in the Sony camp for a long time. One of the features of the xperia's that i loved and can't find a way to replicate on the S7 is how to set up an "event" or course of action based on something happening. It seemed to be done through Sony's UI.

As an example, with the xperia, you could set up any app you liked to launch automatically when you plugged in your headphones, and automatically close when you took your headphones out. Super handy for me particularly with work.

Is there any way to replicate this functionality with the S7?

I'm not really a fan, but many people swear by Tasker: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&token=AxSpJ6mb

When setting up a new profile, Choose State -> Hardware -> Headset Plugged.
