I would also like to do that

What I tried so far:

- With cyanogen you can use "up" "down" "right" "left" commands
Input -> Dpad -> down + right + down + press = quit

- With command shell, install the locale execute plugin
https://market.android.com/details?id=d ... aleExecute
Then it's in Plugin in tasker action list

The big question is:
What is the command to kill waze from shell ????

I tried some stuffs without success like etc.

I tried to record the log while force stopping waze from android app manager
I got "Force stopping package com.waze uid=10066"

Any waze developper to indicate the command line(s) for stopping waze?

I plan to go on a drive later today to break in the new race brake pads on the car and will use that tasker job to close it and see if my drive uploads properly.

Looks to work, drive was uploaded.

Yeah, an api for plug-ins!

I've only ever got it to start via tasker. As you say it's hard enough to exit the app manually!

I'd love for waze to actually have a proper API for tasker to use. A pipedream though!

Does waze still treat it as a crash next time you load the app?

Looks hopeful, how did you find the intent name? Have you confirmed drives still upload when the app closes via this method?

Sounds positive - I added this yesterday and it seems to work very smoothly. Regarding uploads, bear in mind they are not done chronologically and longer drives will typically take longer to appear.

Thanks lloyd_a! This works perfectly for me.
