Triple tap or similar gesture?

[jtfwTX]

Hi all,

Need help or a suggestion. I'm using Nova launcher and have gestures being used. I am trying to be able to pause/resume playback of an audiobook player on my s10+ when the screen is off. No problem when I have a bluetooth player/speaker b/c they usually have a pause button. The issue is when I play from my phone as a standalone device.

Is there an app/apk that works with screen off, where I could let's say triple tap and I could assign that shortcut to the pause function in the audiobook app/player?

Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you! I'm on latest Android 10 May update on my unlocked T-mobile S10+

I don't know if you can, but you should be able to do this with the Bixby key.

This is something i miss from OnePlus.
