 uploadChannel.enableLights(false);
 uploadChannel.setDescription("Uploads Channel");
 notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(uploadChannel);

each time i show notification the phone vibrate many times. i disable vibrate from notification channel as below

uploadChannel.enableVibration(false);

i create notification as below

 NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, Constants.NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_UPLOAD_ID);

but it is not working phone is vibrating with each notification.

Solution

  • This is a bug on Android 8 notification system. I've tinkered with different combinations of enableVibration with setVibrationPattern(null) but it does not work.

    Only solution that stops the vibration for me is this:

    mNotificationChannel.setVibrationPattern(new long[]{ 0 });
mNotificationChannel.enableVibration(true);

    FYI, even if I set a vibration pattern with 0, but set enableVibration to false, it vibrates.
