can you try to replace "task" by "userTask" in your model??

Thank you so much for a quick reply.

Yes it works with userTask. but it returns the first task "searchdoc_on_fn_ln". I was expecting "create_widget" task to be returned. What's wrong in the logic?

Thank you again

The first task that you define is: "searchdoc_on_fn_ln" (after start) then… process is waitting this task to be completed.

If you removed this task… and join "start" with the gateway then you obtain your expected value.

why wasn't "task" working? Do I always create a userTask in the model ?

What is task?

manualTask? userTask? serviceTask ???

Each "task" has its own behaviour… and you need to specify what behaviour you need, using proper tag.

Then, you don't need to use always "userTask", there are other controlled tags (look at http://activiti.org/userguide/index.html#bpmnConstructs )

Exactly. In BPMN 2.0, a 'task' without any further specification is often used by process modelers to model a 'I don't yet know'. As such, for the engine a 'task' acts as a noop or passthrough for the engine.
