Turn on / notifications vibration - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Ehi guys!
i'm trying to switch off vibration on notifications (i don't mind about calls) based on condition, because i really can't stand my phone vibrating while laying in my table at work.
I've tried 2 solution, activate vibration only while in my pocket or while connected to certain wifi.. i have no problem with the triggers but i'm not able to actually toggle off and on the vibration..
i've tried both this script https://forum.xda-developers.com/u/t...asker-t3345309 or the tasker plugin "sound mode" but they both toggle do not disturb mode, not the vibration..
i just want to:
1. vibration off + volume on while on the table
2. vibration on + volume on while on my pocket
Any help?
Thanks!!

I don't think this is possible with Tasker. My guess is, you will have to disable vibration on a system level - driver for example.

Thanks a lot for your reply! Can you be a bit more specific on your solution? I'm not sure I get it

I think it is only possible if you can find the driver file for vibration and make change there.
Some applications, like Viber, vibrate furiously in all situations and users have little control over it. My solution is Xposed and GravityBox, both of which are mostly not tasker-able.

Actually I've noticed that if I block a notification in AutoNotification, then recreate it in Tasker, the vibration doesn't go off. If you don't want to block the app's notifications on a system level, it's a good workaround.
You can also just turn vibration system wide with the Vibrate action (should be in Audio).

thanks guys, i'll give it a try

[Q] gmail notification no longer vibrates

I just noticed this morning that whenever I get a new email, only the notification sound plays. The vibration no longer happens. I do have vibrate set to "always" in the volume setting, and also in the labels notification options in gmail.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it?
I installed Volume control app from the android market last nite. Not sure if that did anything but tried uninstalling it and still the vibration is not working.
Haptic feedback still works.
Never mind, I figured it out. Volume control did messed things up. I downloaded another volume app, Volume Manager. It's got a setting for vibrate on notifications and that's disabled.
Apparently when Volume control installs it disables certain things by default and has does not provide a way to re-enable it.

disable vibrate globally

Hi!
Is there any way to disable vibration for ALL apps and notifications?
What I'm trying to achieve is to use an automagic-flow to disable vibrate when the phone is placed on a flat surface. I can detect the phone being placed on a flat surface in automagic, but there is no action to disable vibrate. However it's possible to run apps or shortcuts in automagic, so what I need is an app that is able to disable vibrate for all apps and notifactions. Tried a lot of volume profile tools, but no app seems to be able to override the vibrate-settings from e.g. the htc-mail-app.
I could disable vibrate in all the apps and use light flow to vibrate on an incoming notification, but unfortunately light flow can not create profile shortcuts so there's no way to toggle light flow settings with automagic.
Any ideas how to achieve that?

Alert slider issues

I've found that the profiles of the alert slider don't quite work for me. In particular, there is no real silent mode that turns off vibrations and OS sounds.
'Silent mode' (top position) leaves vibrations on which is obviously not good when I'm going to sleep etc
'Do not disturb' (middle position) disables vibrations and notification sounds but leaves OS sounds on (the lock/unlock sound for example). This is really annoying when I don't want to wake my Boyfriend or don't want to distract people in a meeting.
Is there any way to disable OS sounds in do not disturb mode?
Also is there any way to enter a profile automatically (when I go to sleep for example)? I've been able to do this on other android phones.
Thanks!
Sorry cm13 was the only way I found to take full control of the annoying stock settings you mentioned

[SOLUTION] Oneplus3T LED notification on Android 8 (OREO)

Good morning fellas, I have an "issue" that is driving me nuts and I hope someone here could give me a solution for this, I will try to explain:
Since Android 5, the notification system has changed and I hate it!
I always (almost) use my phone in "vibrate mode", I like it to vibrate ONLY when I receive a call or SMS. Messaging Apps like Whatsapp/Telegram, I want the notification LED to work,
for that to happen I need to set a notification tone under Settings > Sound and Vibration, but if I set any sound for this and the phone is in vibrate mode, all the sound is converted into a vibration,
even if the options in Whatsapp, for example, was mutted with no vibration and sound at all... with these settings, the LED works like a charm, but the devil vibrations happen aswell and if I set a notification sound to none, the vibrations vanish, but the LED stops working too... it is really boring, the Whatsapp configuration SHOULD (in my opinion) override the System configuration...
I guess you already understood what I want: phone in vibrate mode, with no vibrate in whatsapp, only LED... (I already tried to block vibration permissions for whatsapp with a 3rd party app for rooted devices with no positive result, because it is a system "bug")
The wierdest thing is: before the update to Oreo, it was working the way I want, even with the crap notification system!
That's it... sorry about my english and thanks for now
Thing is, in some Oreo roms for some reason I had to give permission manually to each app to use LED light...
Use VibraFix from play store (root) if you want to disable all vibration, give WhatsApp permission to use LED light and override do not disturb = no vibrations but LED works.

Possible to have vibration on notification ?

It's hard to understand why there is no LED on the Nokia 8, not necessarily a color one like on my trusty Lenovo P2, even a white one would do the trick for notifications...
Anyway I don't like audio on notifications so I was hoping to have the phone vibrate but that doesn't seem possible, am I missing something ? Thanks for any help !
Just turn Notification/Phone ring Volume to 0 should be vibration only

That would also mute phone rings, which I doubt OP wants.
@webvan You can manually turn of notification sounds for each app by long-pressing an app icon and tap: App Info -> App notifications -> Messages -> Sound -> None.
Thanks, yes I'd still like the phone to ring !
Will try the app by app setting.
ok so I tried that method and you can indeed dig into the notifications and when they are set to a high or above importance you can activate "vibrate" and deactivate "sounds". Thanks !

Seems crazy that 10 years into Android development there is no option to only make your phone vibrate when a notification arrives instead of making a sound !

May I ask what apps you are trying to turn off sound notifications? For Instant Messaging apps like Viber, Signal, Telegram, etc. I can easily turn the sound notification OFF and leave the vibration option ON. Some apps don't have those options simply because they don't send and/or display notifications.
It's strange to hear you can't do that. Try exploring all the options around the Notification Settings in each app.
Oops, had edited my message in the meantime! Yes I found that the trick is to set importance of the notification to high or above to get control of the sound+vibration settings. All good now!
