In order for double tap to work, you have to have a smart switch that will transmit the double tap. What model switch are you using? If you already have a switch installed that will transmit a double tap, then the existing double tap SmartApp might be a place to start. #6 under convenience in the following topic.
The following is current as of Sept 9, 2015. This is a list of the officially approved SmartApps that are available for installation through the SmartThings mobile app under the SmartApps tab. In each category, you will find a combination of community contributed & SmartThings developed SmartApps.

Yet another option is a mode control toggle. You can use this as a wall switch or just on the table. I really like it.
This code stopped working with the 2018 version of the SmartThings app. The device should no longer be considered compatible.
Yes, Virginia, there is a battery operated toggle switch that looks like a regular switch and can be used to change modes, run Hello Home Actions, or toggle one or more devices on and off! It does have 3 toggle “buttons” instead of just 1, which some people will see as a negative, but it’s a very nice device. It can be mounted on the wall anywhere, it does not require any wiring. Or it can just lie flat on a table.
It’s zigbee, but because SmartThings supports both zigbee and zwave, that doesn’t matter, you can still use it to control any of the devices you control through SmartThings.
