Create Gradle task that contains several tasks

Is it possible to create a gradle task that runs several tasks? My goal would be to to have a command cleanAndTestAll that would be executed like:

./gradlew cleanAndTestAll

and would be the equivalent of doing:

./gradlew clean :unit:test :app:connectedAndroidTestPlayDebug

One way is to define a wrapper task that depends on the tasks you want to run. For example adding the following to the root build.gradle : 

task cleanAndTestAll(dependsOn: [ clean, ':unit:test', ':app:connectedAndroidTestPlayDebug']) { }

This task will trigger the two other tasks. and give output like the following:

15:31:38: Executing external task 'cleanAndTestAll'...
:clean
:app:connectedAndroidTestPlayDebug 
:unit:test
:cleanAndTestAll 

BUILD SUCCESSFUL

If you want to enforce an ordering between the tasks, you could do something like:

task cleanAndTestAll(dependsOn: [clean, ':unit:test', ':app:connectedAndroidTestPlayDebug']) { }
tasks.getByPath(':app:connectedAndroidTestPlayDebug').mustRunAfter tasks.getByPath(':unit:test')
