It can be done with the automation app Tasker on android. It only has to be set up once. Afterwards, a handy little button on your start screen will set it all into motion.To do this, follow the steps below. 1. Open tasker2. Create a new task as follows:Go to "tasks" tabPress "+" to add a new task.Name it something you can remember and press the "tick"3. Add actions for your task:Press "+" to add a actions. You are going to need 4 of them in the right order."Launch app"Settings: App = Your music/podcast app"Launch app"Settings: App = Pokemon go"Wait"Settings: MS = around 150 You might have to play a little with the "MS"-slider in the "wait" action for it to work (remember to set the default "seconds slider from 1 to 0)"Media Control"Settings: Cmd = "play [simulated only]" AND App = Your music or podcast app.You can rearrange actions or delete them by dragging their right side.
