Maybe you know this situation: Your phones lays on your desk, you're in the kitchen and you get called. You do not hear your ring and when you come back to your desk, you don't notice that you were called because your device has no notification LED or you don't notice that little blinking...

Vibration Notifier

offers a solution to this scenario: When you have a missed call, unread SMS or any other event*, the app keeps vibrating every X minutes for Y times or until you turn on the display of your device.

Troubleshooting: The app won't beep if your device is set to silent mode etc. Please note that the app does

not

change the vibration setting of the other apps, it will only do additional vibrations/beeps if you don't turn on your display before!

An

optional feature

is available as an in-app purchase (0.99 EUR) with which you'll get these repeating vibrations on your

Android Wear

smartwatch!

* all apps which notify you about new events by showing a notification in the Android status bar are supported, like WhatsApp, GoogleTalk, Twitter, facebook, etc. Note that this require access to your notification bar

---------

Silent hours:

Please note that when you set up a silent hours interval in the app, only

Vibration Notifier

itself won't vibrate or beep. It does

not

mute other apps so if you receive a new mail, your Gmail app might still beep!

Initial vibration:

The app vibrates/beeps after the time set in the app - it does

not

vibrate/beep immediatelly when you receive a notification (the notifying app is responsible for that vibration)! However, there is an option in the app to get the initial vibration on the connected Android Wear device.

Permissions:

VIBRATE - obviously necessary to enable the "vibrate every X min" feature

READ_PHONE_STATE - needed to detect missed calls

RECEIVE_SMS & READ_SMS - needed to detect unread SMS

WAKE_LOCK - seems like this is needed on some device to avoid infinite vibrating

READ_CALL_LOG & READ_CONTACTS - needed to differentiate between missed & rejected calls

READ_CONTENT_PROVIDER & GET_ACCOUNTS - necessary for new method to get unread Gmails

WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - Android Wear communication
