Feature description

The ability to update feeds using a broadcast/Android Intent sent from other apps so it can be automated akin to how AntennaPod implements it.

https://antennapod.org/documentation/automation/tasker

Why do you want this feature?

I don't see a way to automate refreshing feeds this other than by using apps that use the Accessibility Service to open the app and click the screen coordinates of the refresh feeds button and then simulating double tapping the home button to go back to the previous app. This is a very clunky method and requires the screen to be on and unlocked.
