How to add an item into Google Cloud Tasks queue in Java?

Could anybody give me a hint how to add an item into Google Cloud Tasks queue in Java? https://cloud.google.com/tasks/docs/

Google has a very smooth description of their queues v1 https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/java/taskqueue/pull/creating-tasks but nothing similar for a new beta Google Cloud Tasks.

I need simply to add an item into a queue with a specific tag and after to pull it from the queue by the oldest_tag() function.

Does anybody has an experience with Google Cloud Tasks?
