remove vibration from notifications

Question

I want to disable vibrations for notifications but I am not able to make it work. I want to make the notification sound be heard, but the phone should not vibrate. Here is my code:

audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION, 2, 0);
audioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);
audioManager.setVibrateSetting(AudioManager.VIBRATE_TYPE_RINGER, AudioManager.VIBRATE_SETTING_OFF);
audioManager.setVibrateSetting(AudioManager.VIBRATE_TYPE_NOTIFICATION, AudioManager.VIBRATE_SETTING_OFF);

but when I receive a message or other notification that uses default sound settings, the phone vibrates. Can someone tell me how to achieve my goal?

I have your same problem and I am not able to solve it. Where you? This is really a hole in Android programming (like many others) — Ton, Jul 29 '14 at 15:46

I think they are not stop because you are use "setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_ALL)" in notification code so if you need to stop vibration and sound remove this line , or if you need to use the default sound and stop vibration I think you must use setDefaults(Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND) etc ...

I think, you should not be directly using AudioManager. Instead, use Notification APIs:

if (isVibrationEnabled) {
    notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;
}

does this works for notifications for other applications? I'm not making notifications, I just want to disable vibrations for all the notifications – Buda Gavril Oct 16 '13 at 05:09
You can't disable vibration for all apps notifications unless you set the device to silent mode (for that, use `audioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);`). Although, there are apps which override the silent mode and use vibration (most of them follow user settings of course). – ozbek Oct 16 '13 at 05:18
so I want to change this settings for notificationd and I know that these settings will work only for applications that follow user's settings. But I want the user to hear notification sount, but disable vibrations, but that code does not works, and I don't know why – Buda Gavril Oct 16 '13 at 05:28
Probably, because _"`setVibrateSetting()` --- **This method was deprecated in API level 16.** Applications should maintain their own vibrate policy based on current ringer mode that can be queried via getRingerMode()."_ – ozbek Oct 16 '13 at 05:32

You will have to remove Vibration code form Notification api :

    notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;
