Use notifications for tasks

You can receive notifications for your tasks in Google Tasks, Google Calendar and Google Assistant. If two or more apps are installed on your phone, only one app will notify you. For example, if the Tasks app isn't installed but you have Calendar and Assistant, then Calendar will notify you.

Tip: To get notifications, add a date and time to your task. Learn more about creating a task in the Tasks app.
