How to Update Feeds when Activity History is Added

I am trying to add feeds to this section when an Activity is added to a Contact 

How is this possible ?

Hi to add feed to contact,

create a new layout and select feed layout.

Hope this is your requirement. You also have to set the field tracking. For that 
The feed tracking needs to be enabled for the Contact object.

Setup > Customize > Chatter > Feed Tracking > 
Select Contact and click Enable Feed Tracking on the top of the list.
Click Save.

If any query, you can contact me.

Hi Roshni,

I am using REST API to add tasks to Contact and Leads. When a task is created with completed status it is shown under the Activity History Section of that contact.

Also at the same note I would like to show up on my feeds. When I create a task using salesforce online system it shows but not when I use the REST API
