Vibration Notifier
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
---------If the app doesn't work: Please check if your device manufacturer implemented a "feature" which prevents apps from running, like Samsung's "Battery Optimizer", Sony's "Stamina", Huawei's "Protected Apps" or anything like that.
---------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.

Maybe this is a bug and I tried reinstalling, but the "required notification access not granted yet. Click here to enable notification listener" won't go away after granting notification access to the app. Can't use it. EDIT: This issue was resolved and now the app is functioning! Thanks. One thing I'd like though is to be able to set different notification settings for different apps
GREAT App, I currently have the new Gen 5 Fossil. I like to keep the watch on sleep to save battery life. I set the app to vibrate when receiving an SMS message, this is working fine, is there a way to get the watch to turn on the screen when the message is receive? Thank you. . Posted oct 14th, 2019 Developer thanks for replying,I just wanted to let you know that this is working fine. When I conducted my test I was sending sms messages from online Google voice using sms and the watch did not wake up. Today, I was getting regular sms from friends and family and the watch vibrated and turned on.
Was great on all my old phone's but no longer works on my new redmi 10, getting "required notification access not granted yet. Click here to enable the notification listener" when I click access is allowed but doesn't go any further. Any support for this please 🙏?
This app worked great on my Pixel XL. Now that I have a Samsung Galaxy S10+, it doesn't work at all. I've turned off battery optimization for this app, but it still doesn't work.
Works on phone, not on watch. Sent two emails about watch and neither have been answered. Waste of money if that's what you want (since that feature is not free).
Works well. About the only improvements I'd suggest is to have a toggle for it to vibrate the phone in silent mode (as it does for Wear devices) and have a donate using Google Play balance menu item (as some of this dev's other apps do).
stopped working after 1st day (next morning when i left home it did nothing).i changed the settings to what i wanted/needed it to work for & it just never worked the next day. but the initial use/try was so impressed
Works great on my Lenovo k6, too bad it doesn't work on my new phone Xiomi pocophone f1 hopefully a patch in the future will fix that.
Works where other similar apps do not. Using on Huawei P Smart 2019. Many Thanks.
Honestly doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe I'm not setting it up properly but I got no results on my Google pixel 4a
Does exactly what I needed. Good vibration as sound is not an option.
Very confusing interface. I couldn't figure out what I was doing
Wanted to use it with my watch but couldn't even get it to work with my phone first. :(
Refused to vibrate..I am deaf and it did nothing that I could feel..
Good app but need auto start function when restarting phone
didn't vibrate but does beep repeatedly well
20190517. Testing, very light, only 900kb
Best repeat notification app
This app works well. I use it every day.
Very useful, thanks
Very useful app. Thanks
Does not work no matter what settings i I changed.
The only one I found that works
Didn't work on my Cubot Quest
Couldn't live without it
Dues just what I need
Needs ability to choose sounds
The app on my pixel 2 is good ! Thank you !
I have a new Pixel 3 XL and initially panicked when I learned this function was not included. I think this may be the best app in this category. It is simple and reliable. It provides the missing vibration and audible reminders and doesn't mess up the display of the notifications on the ambient screen. It is automatically quiet in do not disturb mode and resumes after. Minor issue: you have to configure the correct phone/voicemail/messaging apps, the default ones were not correct for my phone.
