Skip to next music track on phone shake

Function/ Purpose:
Skip to next track when the phone is shaken (specially for Google's standard music app, some 3rd party music apps already have this feature built-in)

Requirements:
• Tasker
• Phone with Proximity sensor

Tasker How to:
1. Create a Profile, Select Event, Select Sensor, Select Shake
If a warning about setting preference pops up, press OK
2. Input the following in the options for shake:
Axis: Left-Right
Sensitivity: Very Low
Duration: Very Long
3. New Task>Give some task name
4. Task>If %MTRACK Set
5. Media> Media Control>Cmd Next
Both simulate media button and label should be unchecked
6. Task>End If

Go to Monitor tab in Tasker preferences and set Proximity Sensor as Yes

I mainly use this while driving/ commuting. One of the problems I had initially faced was this profile getting triggered every time I got a notification (email/ SMS/ ...) and my phone vibrated or if the road was bad and bumpy. I experimented with several combinations of Sensitivity and Duration in Step 2 above and these issues are eliminated now.
