How to disable/re-enable the vibration that occurs on receiving notification?

Question

I am defining a custom vibration for a specific functionality when notification is received.

However, when the phone screen is off, the custom vibration plays along with the default notification vibration.

I tried to put phone to silent mode and remove it from silent mode programmatically and also tried to use a partial wakelock, suspecting that when the CPU is off, then the default vibration is also thrown, but both approaches don't seem to work.

I also tried to mute the default audio and the vibration and restore it upon completion of my task on receiving a notification, but that only helps in masking the default notification sound, not the default vibration.

//Trying to mute the notification sound and vibration
audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION, 0, AudioManager.FLAG_REMOVE_SOUND_AND_VIBRATE);
 //Restoring the defaults
audioManager.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION, defaultNotifVolume, AudioManager.FLAG_REMOVE_SOUND_AND_VIBRATE);

Please let me know how to disable/enable the default notification vibration programmatically.

Answer 1

try to do this

NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = (NotificationCompat.Builder) new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);

this will lead to a pattern of vibrate use the notification Builder and remove the set vibrate ,this will disable the vibrate

this is my example of handling the sound and vibrate ex:

Uri soundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
        NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = (NotificationCompat.Builder) new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
                .setContentText(body)
                .setContentTitle(title)
                .setSound(soundUri)
                .setLargeIcon(icon)
                .setSound(soundUri)
                .setLights(Color.parseColor("#ffb400"), 50, 10)
                .setVibrate(new long[]{500, 500, 500, 500})
                .setAutoCancel(true)
                .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

        NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        notificationManager.notify(0, notificationBuilder.build());

This is not possible (maybe with root?).

Apps cannot interfere with other apps so even if it would be possible it would be against the Google Play rules.
