The IVibrateService allows a developer to start and stop vibration of the device via a service.

Starting vibration

To start the vibration, use the following code (will vibrate for 250 ms). Note that the time span must be between 0 and 5 seconds.

var dependencyResolver = this.GetDependencyResolver();
var vibrateService = dependencyResolver.Resolve<IVibrateService>();
vibrateService.Start(new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 0, 250);

Stopping the vibration earlier than initially planned

By default, the vibration stops automatically after the specified time span has passed. However, it is possible to stop the vibration manually.

var dependencyResolver = this.GetDependencyResolver();
var vibrateService = dependencyResolver.Resolve<IVibrateService>();
vibrateService.Stop();
