I call startVibrator(0200, 0000, 1); in my callback in a ControlExtension. It works when the SmartWatch is not dimmed, once the SmartWatch is dimmed, it does not vibrate. Is this normal? And how can I get it to work?

You can keep the Screen state On and it will vibrate. It depends on what you want to achieve by vibration, either it is a notification vibration or just using it for some other form of game/user interaction.This is the usual behavior though.

  • When I get a GPS fix I want to vibrate to notify the user there is a fix (also when dimmed). I think it should vibrate in dimmed state. Adding a Notification, one also get a Notification message (also need a GUI interaction). How can I send a Notification and only vibrate (without message)? And can I control the default xml preference settings for a Notification configuration? – powder366 Jan 25 '13 at 18:24
  • Ended up leaving the screen ON until GPS fix then vibrate and finally DIM it. Not the perfect solution since I also want to vibrate in dimmed state later. – powder366 Jan 27 '13 at 13:44
