Description

Thanks a lot for vibration in notifications 😻 This makes pinetime much more of a daily driver for me. I did notice however that the vibration is very short and weak which makes me miss often the fact I got notification.

In the future would be nice to have this configurable form within the watch but perhaps it could be raised a notch now?

Research direction

Start by locating the notification vibration implementation in the InfiniTime firmware and identify how vibration duration or strength is currently set. Confirm the current notification behavior on a Pinetime watch, then determine a raised setting that is noticeable without making notifications excessive; done means notifications vibrate more strongly or for longer.
