Execution-listeners can be put on any activity, see user guide:

Execution listeners allow you to execute external Java code or evaluate an expression when certain events occur during process execution. The events that can be captured are:

Start and ending of a process instance.
Taking a transition.
Start and ending of an activity.
Start and ending of a gateway.
Start and ending of intermediate events.
Ending an start event or starting an end event.


<userTask id="secondTask" >
    <extensionElements>
      <activiti:executionListener expression="${myPojo.myMethod(execution.event)}" event="end" />
    </extensionElements>
    </userTask>

The tasklistener/execution listener difference has been resolved in 5.12 for user tasks. The modeler doesn't have the support yet, but you could always add the listeners in the XML manually. Can you create an issue for the missing listeners in the modeler on gateways?
