Question: How to make any apps ringtone vibrate?

[FanOfAndroid]

So I'm wondering if there is a way in Tasker to detect any ringtone and make it vibrate when it's not vibrating even when ringtone volume from phone is set to vibrate?

I have some off-brand wifi doorbell. I can only get a ringtone but no vibration. App doesn't appear in notifcations when it's ringing or anything like that. So I probably wouldn't be able to use something like AutoNotification (idk?).

I would like to get vibration because it's kind of annoying getting a doorbell sound ringing on my phone when I'm somewhere else (when it would be much better if it just vibrated). And of course silencing it completely would make it useless. (What would be the point of these wifi doorbells?)

So basically, I would like to make this doorbell app vibrate all the time when the bell is rung.

This is the Doorbell App: (TCBell)

Can't help you with this app or Tasker, but I note the way their Google Play privacy policy link just goes straight to the front page page of the bell manufacturer's website in Chinese, plus the app itself seems to have quite a fancy set of permissions. So I presume they don't care too much about your private data with this product. Good luck with it.

My phones are not root-ed. You have not stated if yours is or isn't.

I do not have the app you are asking about. You could contact the app author withg your questions.

"So I'm wondering if there is a way in Tasker to detect any ringtone and make it vibrate when it's not vibrating even when ringtone volume from phone is set to vibrate?" is unclear what you are asking.

In Tasker the following Test profile will vibrate when any notification is displayed. The Test2 task just sends a notification for testing.

Profile: Test
Event: Notification [ Owner Application:* Title:* Text:* Subtext:* Messages:* Other Text:* Cat:* New Only:Off ]
Enter: Anon
A1: Notify Vibrate [ Title:XXX Text: Icon:null Number:0 Pattern: Priority:3 Repeat Alert:Off ]
A2: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:2 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A3: Notify Cancel [ Title:XXX Warn Not Exist:Off ]

Test2
A1: Notify [ Title:Test2 Text: Icon:null Number:0 Permanent:Off Priority:3 ]
A2: Notify Cancel [ Title:Test2 Warn Not Exist:Off ]

@Thom Oh yeah, I forgot to mention it's not rooted. I was going to mention that but I forgot.

Thanks for the help but like you said that's only when notifications are displayed. I need something that knows its a ringtone (since when I put the volume to silence the bell is no longer heard) and instead of playing the ringtone it vibrates. (App doesn't have any settings for ringtone vibration and androids default vibration doesn't work with this app)
