I would love if there was an action that could enable or disable background data for a specified app. The same setting as if you go into "Data usage" and toggle background data on an app in there. This is a feature from AOSP, so I believe it should be possible without having too much cross-device difficulty. I've looked all of the possible system settings in the "Set System Setting" action in Automagic, but there doesn't appear to be any entry for this.
I really want this so I can enable background data on certain data-hungry apps for something like 60 seconds after I launch them, and then disable it again. Would be great for apps like Facebook and Snapchat, where I want to stop their background data use, but doing so causes an inconvenience when I want to upload something to them: I have to wait with my screen on until the thing is fully uploaded. Turning the screen off, of course, causes the upload to fail because background data is disabled.
New Action: Enable/Disable Background Data for Specified App
