Intent or Tasker integration to start/stop tracking

[Christoph-Wagner]

This would be my feature request :)

My scenario is, that I'd like to start tracking for a few seconds when connected to my wifi and the accelerometer activates.
I read the information from the find server into my home-automation system and get room-level tracking (tested it, it works well enough for my purposes) to turn on the lights and so on.

A nice to have would be a configurable tracking interval, but I guess I could do that myself even without android experience and recompile it ;)

I opened an issue for this: #50. This is easy, I'll knock this out over the next day or so!

Tasker integration would be awesome!

Here's the Tasker doc for getting this started. It doesn't look so bad. If someone has experience with this, please let me know!

I just realized a primitive way of doing this, that might work, would just be to create a new FIND app that starts tracking right when it opens. That way you could use Tasker -> Start App/Kill App to get it to just open the app and the app will start tracking right away. I will play with this, and if it works, I'll release this version as a new app on the play store so you could play with it.

Just for playing with it, I can already use another Tasker plugin that just clicks on the Start Tracking button. So don't feel the need to release that on my account ;) Of course if no one gets around to tasker integration it might still make sense, but tasker commands are cleaner :)

The intent plugin seems like an extremely simple alternative to set up a track or learn intent. Full tasker integration would be better but this should be far easier to implement.
