Help How to get Vibrate Notifications only (no ringtone)

How do we get the phone to vibrate for example when I use google+ messenger without the ringtone? I just moved over from iphone 4s and I dont understand when I turn the phone on vibrate, it silents all notifications. How do I fix this, I work where i need the volume off, but need vibrations for notifications.
 
When you press the volume all the way down there are two options for silent mode; one with and one without vibrate. Make sure you select the one with vibrate, and it will vibrate.
 
Open your sms app, when you see the thread list, press options button (bottom left next to home button) press Settings, scroll to very bottom of page, tick vibrate, select notification sound as silent. Job done. At least for texts.
