[Q] hidden contacts w/stock app? topic

I'm looking for a way to have texts from certain contacts hidden while still retaining the stock messaging app. I just love the stock app's text pop ups because they're up off to the side and don't inhibit any apps currently open/in use, making replying a cinch. But I also want a few contacts hidden from prying eyes. Could Tasker accomplish this feat?
