When I set the ringermode to RINGER_MODE_SILENT, the phone still vibrates and the icon in the menu is set to the 'vibrate' icon

Question

When I execute this code:

mAudioManager.setRingerMode(AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT );

the icon in my menubar on top is set to the vibrate icon and the vibrate setting is set to vibrate and not to silent.

What I expect from 'silent' is no-vibrate, no-sound.

It's on my phone on Android 4.4.4

What device are you testing on? At least in a Nexus 4 with 4.4.4 this code DOES set the proper "silent" mode (including icon). — matiash, Dec 04 '14 at 14:27
you mean silent as in 'no sound' or realy as in 'no sound AND no vibrate' ? — Michel, Dec 05 '14 at 08:40
Silent as in "no sound and no vibrate" (i.e. pressing "volume up" afterwards switches to vibrate mode). With Android 5.0 however it turns on Priority Mode instead. What phone are you testing on? — matiash, Dec 05 '14 at 14:03
I'm running on a motorola moto G. If you are so confident it should work, I'll look again. — Michel, Dec 08 '14 at 10:17
Well, it _does_ look like the correct way of doing it, and it works in the 4.4.4 device I have available. I can't affirm anything else apart from that, unfortunately. Good luck! — matiash, Dec 10 '14 at 00:57
only working in nexux and samsung devices. In Moto not working. — Abhi, Nov 23 '16 at 09:19

Try this :

AudioManager audio = (AudioManager)getSystemService(Context.AUDIO_SERVICE);
audio.setRingerMode(0);

Android Manifest file:

<application>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS" />
</application>

Isn't RINGER_MODE_SILENT equal to 0? – Michel Oct 28 '14 at 11:27
yes but it may be due to api changes it is needed constant value. also check manifest file – Vivek Shah Oct 28 '14 at 11:29
if it still not work add one more permission of Config changes – Vivek Shah Oct 28 '14 at 11:30
Concerning `android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS` see my comment to @Tapa Save's answer – Hartmut Pfitzinger Dec 11 '14 at 06:15
is only for system apps. and with other 2 permission, code is not working for moto devices – Abhi Nov 23 '16 at 09:28

Try use this for silent mode:

getSystemService( Context.AUDIO_SERVICE).setRingerMode( AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_SILENT);

or normal mode:

getSystemService( Context.AUDIO_SERVICE).setRingerMode( AudioManager.RINGER_MODE_NORMAL);

Also permissions and uses-sdk (insode 'manifest' not 'application'):

<manifest ...>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="9" android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" />
</manifest>

No app outside of the system/firmware can get the `android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS` permission. You can ask for it but what you get is a different story [see here.](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5034276/1986583) — Hartmut Pfitzinger, Dec 11 '14 at 06:14
