I am trying to find a way how to integrate taskwarrior (aka task) reminders into unity and I understand the clock applet in ubuntu shows tasks from evolution-data-server. Is there a way to switch task/calendar sources, or an "easy" way to write my own applet for that purpose?

Writing a bare-bones indicator is simple. My indicator-fortune here will give you a first step into writing a Python 3 (and GTK+ 3) indicator. There's a multitude of indicators listed which will give you other examples.

The hard part is figuring out how to connect to taskwarrior - does it have an API or some way to send/receive information which is accessed via your indicator? Would you instead parse it's config/data files (it that's what it uses)?

Your first step might be (after getting the vanilla indicator running) to simply display information from taskwarrior, so the indicator is read-only. After that you might then push your luck and see if you can send data back from the indicator.
