Ring Doorbell Pro Integration With Tablet

I have the Ring Doorbell Pro and am generally happy with its performance. I also just mounted an older Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 on the wall, as a hub for my various home automation lights, switches, etc..

I am trying to get the Ring Doorbell app to open when there is a ring, or motion is detected, to show the image from the Ring's camera for 40 seconds, then to close and return to the tablet's Home page.

I purchased Tasker, but unfortunately, my recipe is not working well at all. Here is what I have as a Tasker profile:

The trigger is a Ring app Notification when either a ring or motion is detected.
1. Open Ring app
2. Wait 41 seconds
3. Go Home

This works sometimes, but most of the time it either does not open the app, or it does not close the Ring camera-view window, or it does not go to the Home page, but stays on the Ring app's list view of events.

Has anyone done what I am trying to do and how did they do it? Any other suggestions?

I also have a Smartthings hub, if this would help in anyway. And Amazon Echo :)

Thanks!
