Disable vibration for a notification

Question

Answer 1

You have 2 solutions with the notification channel.

1. Set a "fake" pattern to disable the vibration.
2. Set Importance flag, but less flexible (see https://developer.android.com/training/notify-user/channels#importance). Takes care, it will also impact some other stuff like priority...

As a result, you can use

NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(channelId, channelName, importance);
            // no vibration
            channel.setVibrationPattern(new long[]{ 0 });
            channel.enableVibration(true);

Or

 int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW;
            NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(channelId, channelName, importance);
