Used by workers to get an ActivityTask from the specified activity
Workers should set their client side socket timeout to at least 70 seconds (10 seconds
higher than the maximum time service may hold the poll request).
taskList.
This initiates a long poll, where the service holds the HTTP connection open and responds
as soon as a task becomes available. The maximum time the service holds on to the
request before responding is 60 seconds. If no task is available within 60 seconds,
the poll returns an empty result. An empty result, in this context, means that an
ActivityTask is returned, but that the value of taskToken is an empty string. If a
task is returned, the worker should use its type to identify and process it correctly.
Access Control
You can use IAM policies to control this action's access to Amazon SWF resources as follows:
Use a Resource element with the domain name to limit the action to only specified
domains.
Use an Action element to allow or deny permission to call this action.
Constrain the taskList.name parameter by using a Condition element with
the swf:taskList.name key to allow the action to access only certain task lists.
If the caller doesn't have sufficient permissions to invoke the action, or the parameter
values fall outside the specified constraints, the action fails. The associated event
attribute's cause parameter is set to OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED. For details
and example IAM policies, see Using
IAM to Manage Access to Amazon SWF Workflows in the Amazon SWF Developer Guide.
This is an asynchronous operation using the standard naming convention for .NET 4.5 or higher. For .NET 3.5 the operation is implemented as a pair of methods using the standard naming convention of BeginPollForActivityTask and EndPollForActivityTask.

| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| LimitExceededException | Returned by any operation if a system imposed limitation has been reached. To address this fault you should either clean up unused resources or increase the limit by contacting AWS. |
| OperationNotPermittedException | Returned when the caller doesn't have sufficient permissions to invoke the action. |
| UnknownResourceException | Returned when the named resource cannot be found with in the scope of this operation (region or domain). This could happen if the named resource was never created or is no longer available for this operation. |
