Allow phone to be switched to Vibrate

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There is currently an API call which allows the phone to be toggled to silent 
mode and to check if its is in silent mode.  Please create another API call to 
also be able to check if the phone is in vibrate mode and to toggle vibrate 
mode.

Thanks

I've done a trial implementation of getVibrateMode and toggleVibrateMode in 
clone
rjmatthews62-android-scripting

The way the SDK is written, you have to pass what Vibrate Type you are 
referring to:
VIBRATE_TYPE_RINGER or VIBRATE_TYPE_NOTIFICATION.
I've implemented this as a boolean argument (ringer) but there's an argument 
for creating separate getVibrateRinger and getVibrateNotify methods. I am open 
to suggestions...

Related to this, I think the current checkRingerSilentMode is "broken". When 
Silent Mode is on but Vibrate is on, checkRingerSilentMode returns false. Maybe 
there should just be a single getSilentMode that returns an enum of the 
possible states that includes Vibrate.

The "trial implementation" of toggleVibrateMode doesn't seem to work.

I tried toggleVibrateMode in the Python interpreter, and it didn't work for me 
either. I noticed later that day that my phone no longer vibrates for 
notifications, which I'm guessing was caused by toggleVibrateMode. 
Unfortunately, because I didn't notice the problem until several hours later, I 
don't have log data. I submitted an issue on Py4A's Google Code page but 
haven't received a response. See Py4A Issue 36 for more details:

Thanks in advance for any help!
