Try this out:

 Vibrator v = (Vibrator) this.context.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
 v.vibrate(5000); // 5000 miliseconds = 5 seconds

And add the permision in AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE"/>

As the method "v.vibrate(long)" is deprecated, here's a new way to implement for newer Api Level: val vibrator = context?.getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE) as? Vibrator vibrator?.takeIf { it.hasVibrator() }?.let { val duration: Long = 5000 // 5 seconds if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) { val vibrationEffect = VibrationEffect.createOneShot(duration, VibrationEffect.DEFAULT_AMPLITUDE) vibrator.vibrate(vibrationEffect) } else { vibrator.vibrate(duration) } } – Fernando Perez Jun 30 '20 at 08:18
