You have to create it manually. Current version of VS Code only creates launch.json automatically. The auto detect claims made in docs also don't work (for me at least).

Here is a sample file you can create in .vscode/tasks.json that defines gulpjs tasks:

{
    "version":"0.1.0",
    "command": "./node_modules/.bin/gulp",
    "isShellCommand": true,
    "tasks":[
        {
            "taskName": "test",
            "isTestCommand": true,
            "problemMatcher": "$gulp-tsc",
            "showOutput": "always"
        }
    ]
}
