Android - Vibration not working?

[cristianoccazinsp]

Bug

Vibration does not work with the following code:

PushNotification.createChannel(
  {
    channelId: "com.tenantmovein.notifications", // (required)
    channelName: "TMI Notifications", // (required)
    channelDescription: "TMI notifications.", // (optional) default: undefined.
    soundName: "default", // (optional) See `soundName` parameter of `localNotification` function

    // (optional) default: 4. Int value of the Android notification importance
    // make it match calls to .localNotification priority
    importance: 4,
    vibrate: true, // (optional) default: true. Creates the default vibration patten if true.
  },
  (created) => console.log(`createChannel returned '${created}'`) // (optional) callback returns whether the channel was created, false means it already existed.
);

PushNotification.localNotification({
  /* Android Only Properties */
  id: id,
  channelId: "com.tenantmovein.notifications",
  autoCancel: true,
  vibrate: true,
  vibration: 1000,
  priority: "high",
  visibility: "public",

  /* iOS only properties */
  //alertAction: 'view',
  userInfo: {id: id}, // required for ios local notification

  /* iOS and Android properties */
  title: title,
  message: message, // (required)
  playSound: sound,
  soundName: sound ? 'default' : undefined,
  // number: number // silly library, iOS requires number, while android string...

});

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

Steps To Reproduce

See code above

Describe what you expected to happen:

Notifications should also include vibration.

Hi @cristianoccazinsp
Did you set this settings after you create the channel ?
Channel informations can't be updated. I suggest you to make a clean install and come back if still not working.

It was a clean install, and the vibration setting is turned on even when checked on the device settings, but I can't get it to vibrate at all. El sáb., 3 de octubre de 2020 10:29, Boris Tacyniak < notifications@github.com> escribió:

Likewise, I have uninstalled and re-installed the app and there is no vibration (similar setup as above). Notifications are sending, and custom sounds are working. I verified that the channel was recreated by changing the sound.

[mineshpatel1]

I have also tested this on the example app and the behaviour is the same (no vibration).

Digging a little bit deeper, and I can show that on API 29 the VibrationService does not try to engage, but on API 25 it is working as expected.

API 29:

<Send Notification>
2020-10-04 11:48:17.758 1936-25541/? E/VibratorService: vibratorOff command failed (1).
2020-10-04 11:48:18.060 1936-25550/? E/VibratorService: vibratorOff command failed (1).

Whereas I would have expected a vibratorOn command inbetween.

API 25

<Send Notification>
2020-10-04 11:53:14.840 1687-1687/? W/VibratorService: Tried to stop vibrating but there is no vibrator device.
2020-10-04 11:53:14.843 1687-11316/? W/VibratorService: Tried to vibrate but there is no vibrator device.

Part of this is likely the switch between the versions from notif based vibration settings to channel based. I have verified that the channel has a vibration pattern set ([300]) but still no luck on the newer versions. Will continue debugging.

#1686 <- Pull request for fixing this.

[fzabala]

is this pr ready to be merged?

[mineshpatel1]

It is from my point of view, need one of the repository maintainers to sign off on it.

@Dallas62 Since the PR has been merged etc, I think you all can close this issue 👍
