Thank you for all help.

Maybe I I don't have described the problem clearly.

But for android stdio project,you will write a file - 'build.gradle'

And this file will include a plugin - 'com.android.application'

I want to know that I would like to write a task,and this task is adding as a dependency to the existing one in the plugin.

But,I got my answer in a book.

You can see the following example.

  android.applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    if (variant.install) {
        tasks.create(name: "run${variant.name.capitalize()}", 
        dependsOn: variant.install) {
           description "Installs  and runs the main launcher activity."
   }
}

You can see details in Gradle documentation, section 17.4. Adding dependencies to a task.

Here is an example from documentation, defining custom task, and adding it as a dependency to existing one.

task taskY << {
    println 'taskY'
}

taskX.dependsOn taskY
