Ada tasks are not part of core UML, however there exists a UML-Ada
Profile which makes heavy use of stereotypes (and I believe also UML
tagged values) to mark a UML class as a task.

You can find more info in the Proceedings of the 8th International
Conference on Reliable Software Technologies Ada-Europe 2003. There is
an article "The Standard UML-Ada Profile" by Francis Thom of Artisan. (I
found this at
http://books.google.com/books?id=5YtLpguKJi8C&pg=PA394&dq=uml-ada
+profile&hl=en&ei=SGNdTcLSFMWs8AP-34SWCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=uml-ada%20profile&f=false)

At any rate, nobody has yet implemented the Ada Profile in Umbrello.

Hope this helps,

 Oliver
