Bring the Pixel 3’s ‘Flip to Shhh’ feature to your Android smartphone using Tasker
June 09, 2025
Back atI/O 2018, Google showed off a new feature alongsideAndroid Piecalled “Shush.” In practice, the feature would enable Do Not Disturb (DND) as soon as a handset was placed face down on a surface. Finally, at the search giant’s fall hardware event, the feature was made official as“Flip to Shhh”and launched on thePixel 3smartphones.
Fortunately, if you wanted “Flip to Shhh” on your Android device, the creator of the popularTasker apphascreated a taskthat replicated the exclusive functionality (viaXDA-Developers).
As you can see from the above video, once everything is set up, the Tasker version of Flip to Shhh works pretty seamlessly. Simply turn over your smartphone, and when the proximity sensor detects a surface, the phone will beep to let you know that DND was enabled. Flip it over again and you will hear a slightly different beep indicating that DND was disabled.

From there, tap on import and the task should be transferred over to your phone. You will need to give the app permission to Notification access and Device Admin to get everything up and working, but afterward, everything should work as demonstrated.
