Android — How to make an Android device vibrate? with different frequency?

Make the device vibrate when a certain action occurs

Grant Vibration Permission

Before you start implementing any vibration code, you have to give your application the permission to vibrate:

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

Make sure to include this line in your AndroidManifest.xml file.

Import the Vibration Library

Most IDEs will do this for you, but here is the import statement if yours doesn’t:

import android.os.Vibrator;

Make sure this in the activity where you want the vibration to occur.

How to Vibrate for a Given Time

In most circumstances, you’ll be wanting to vibrate the device for a short, predetermined amount of time. You can achieve this by using the vibrate(long milliseconds) method. Here is a quick example:

// Get instance of Vibrator from current Context
Vibrator v = (Vibrator) getSystemService(Context.VIBRATOR_SERVICE);
// Vibrate for 400 milliseconds
v.vibrate(400);
