Two weeks ago, toggling the silent mode settings between Silent, sound only, vibrate only, and sound-vibe controlled the ringer and all the notifications. So, any app that generated a notification would follow this setting. You know, like every phone every made since their advent.
My phone just came back from samsung (screen repair) with MD4 everything. I also put MOAR on it. Now, that toggle no longer controls the notification vibration. The only way to set vibration for notification is go into the individual application settings. This is ridiculousness. I thought I could make a workaround with tasker, but "Vibrate on notify" is also no longer available.
Can anyone verify this is the way it is? Or is something wrong with mine?

I'm not sure if this will work as I'm on AOSP rom but try this.
Under Settings/Sound - select volumes, you should get a popup for volume settings. There should be an option for "Link Ringtone & Notification Volumes". Select that and notifications should follow the same rule as phone ring tone. Hope it works for you.
Bumping this. Does anyone have a solution to this complete epic failure of engineering by either google or samsung? It's absolutely absurd that if I want to cycle vibrate on and off, I have to go into 5 different apps, dig through menus of each app, and change each app's individual notification settings.
After you received the Device back from Samsung, did you happen to notice if the Toggle worked correctly ? I'm currently on MOAR, and everything works as it should. Did you do a Clean install of MOAR ? Meaning a Full Wipe System - Data - Dalvik Cache -Cache - Factory Reset ? Did you verify the MD5 Checksum of the Rom before Flashing ?

When I sent the phone away, it had MOAR 4 and whatever was prior to MD4.
When I got the phone back, it came with MD4. I clean flashed MOAR 4. Not more vibe on notify. I didn't check that before I flashed, but presumably that feature went away with MD4.
Clean flashing to MOAR 5 still lacks that feature.
So this leads me to believe it is an MD4 "feature".
Ok so I think I understand you a bit better now. You are not saying that the Toggle is broken, you are saying that when you use the Toggle certain apps do not respond accordingly. Have you tried : Menu - Settings - Sound - Ringtones and notifications. Make sure that Vibrate and ringing is checked.
No no. The problem is that THERE IS NO TOGGLE. The toggle for selecting notification vibrate no longer exists. It isn't there. Taken away. No option, no selection, no checkbox, no nothing. And tasker shows it as not available so I can't work around it either.
Look at these two screenshots. There is nothing to set notification vibrate, and there there is nothing to link notification settings up with ringer settings. All gone. The Vibrate when ringing checkbox controls only the phone call vibrate and has no effect on notifications.
The only way to control whether you get a vibrate for notification, is to go into each application and manually turn it's vibrate option on. That application will then vibrate at all times. If I set the phone for silent, that app's notifications will still vibrate. If I set the phone for sound only, that app still vibrates. If I have the app's vibe turned off, and I set the phone for vibrate, I will never receive any notification since there is no vibrate for notification.
Make sense now?
Did you try changing it in Vibration Intensity ?

Sure I could go into vibration intensity and lower it down to zero. But that is not a toggle. There is no way to adjust that without going through all the menus and changing the slider. It will not change itself when I put the phone into vibrate. It will not change itself when I put the phone into sound & vibe. It isn't solving anything. The problem is the removal of the toggle.
You can try THIS , or maybe the one HERE.

Those just do the same exact thing the phone already does. Toggle the RINGER. Nothing to do with notifications.
I've been asking around about this too. It's really annoying having to change the notification settings in each app every time. Someone suggested a Tasker profile to change the vibrate settings in specified apps but I haven't figured out how to do it.

I've been running the latest CM7 nightlies for a while now and starting about a week ago, the vibrate function stopped working when I received text messages. I use Chomp SMS and I've changed the settings in there, in the standard messaging app, and in the general sounds category in settings. The phone still vibrates for everything else - games, alarms, phone calls, etc.
Any ideas? I'd rather not have to do a full reset.

Shot in the dark, are you using the notifications drop-down power widgets? I had an issue a while back that when I used those to adjust the volume/vib/silent toggle, it would turn off vibrate in the global settings when moving back and forth between "vibrate" and "all sounds on".
Just make sure that your global settings are correct and then dont change anything then test the notification with an incoming SMS.
Other than that I'm out of ideas.
I tried changing the global settings again and in the process realized that it vibrates now when the phone is set to "silent" mode, but when I turn on the volume again the vibrate goes away. I set every single notification setting I could find to vibrate always so this is super confusing.

Try setting up a notification power widget. And under 'widget buttons' scroll all the way down to 'sound modes' and select one of the options where the first one is "sound+vibrate". Toggle to this mode from the notification pull-down and see if that toggles it. (I personally use 'Sound+Vib/Vib/Silent').
I found that the stock settings and CMsettings often mess eachother up.
I ended up flashing back to a backup from 2 weeks ago - it was worth the time because the vibrate settings are completely back to normal. Thanks for the help, though, I'll keep it in mind for future reference in case this happens again.
Has anyone else noticed volume settings are even worse then they were for ICS? Not only are ringer + notification volumes still linked, Google even linked the system volume to them now as well. And more annoying: how on earth does one disable vibrate for notifications? The only setting to control vibrate I seem to have is "vibrate when ringing" in the sound menu. Unchecking this one does nothing for notifications.
I use Audiomanager Pro for my sound profiles, and the vibrate options you can set for each profile have no effect. The only way to disable vibrate seems to be to enable silent mode. But I don't want that, when I'm at home my GNEX lies on my desk in the room and I simply do not want it to vibrate for ringer & notifications.
Or am I somehow overlooking something really obvious here?
It is a pain in the a$$ but I found a pretty cool solution. Might not be what you were looking for but "easy profiles" in the market will let you unlink all those. It has a 2 week full trial. You can even reinstall the trial again if you want. Plus it allows all kinds of triggers and rules etc. Almost like tasker ... except for notifications.

So, if you're looking to control the vibrations for each app, any application that supports notifications should have a setting inside it with semi-fine-grain controls for notifications. These controls will generally allow you to specify whether you want a sound or vibration notification, and when to initiate them. For example, in Gmail->settings->[your email]->vibrate & ringtone there is a setting called "vibrate" in which you can specify if you would always like a vibration, only while in silent mode, or never. Hopefully this answers your question.

Thanks for the reply but it doesn't I'm afraid. I know you can control notification settings per app, but doing so for 10+ apps every time I want to temporarily disable notification vibrate sort of defeats the purpose. What I want is a Gingerbread like setting for vibrate for notifications: one setting to disable/enable vibrate for notifications that overrides individual app settings.
I'm beginning to think Google simply does not want to allow such settings any more, but I'm surprised not more users are annoyed by this. Linking volumes was a bad call, but removing control regarding vibrate settings is an even worse one imho.

I just updated my Nexus S to Jelly Bean and was very sad to discover this problem. Previously, I could use Audio Manager Pro to control whether notifications vibrated or not (both with volume on and off). Now, Audio Manager Pro's vibration settings seem to do nothing. I have to go into the individual app's notification settings to choose whether it vibrates or not. As you said, with multiple apps, this is unacceptable.
I emailed the Audio Manager dev to point this flaw out. I'm not sure if it is an unfixable Jelly Bean deficiency or if the Audio Manager app just needs to be updated. But I surely hope it is the latter and not the former.
I have to hand it to RIM... one thing they had right was notifications profiles built into the OS that were vastly superior to anything I've seen on Android or iOS. And the notification LED. It still blows my mind that more Android devices don't have a bright, visible notification LED.

Yes I totally agree regarding the profiles you can set on BlackBerry devices. I also emailed the dev of audiomanager, hopefully the jelly bean API still allows more control over vibrate than the Android settings menu suggests.

AUGH I just clued into this tonight after weeks on JB. I can't find any way to globally disable all vibrations at night. What the hell was Google thinking? Now I might have to put the damn thing on airplane mode just to get some freaking sleep.
Yeah it looks like we need need to live with this or flash a ROM that has modified sound/vibration settings to a normally usable level (read: the Gingerbread implementation).

For now, my compromise is to set Tasker to disable account sync when the phone is both face down and plugged in. Since Gmail is the most common source of vibration, it should do the trick. In the morning when I flipped it over and woke it, my e-mails came in about 5 seconds.

Wtf was Google thinking? First linking ringer and notification volumes. Now making it near impossible to control vibration globally with a profiles app.
Google is really moving backwards in this area and I can think of no reasonable explanation as to why.

They were asked about this at Google I/O, supposedly it was too confusing for some users. They basically avoided a response when it was brought up how it is now impossible to set, for example, navigation and music to both have comfortable volumes at the same time. It's like they know it sucks but they still won't fix it, it kind of pissed me off when I was watching it.

Would it be possible for a custom ROM, say AOKP or CM10, to revert the vibration and volume behaviours back to being more like they were in GB?

Oh I somehow missed that. Bad argumentation imho. If you can understand how 3 volume sliders (ICS/JB) work, you don't suddenly get confused if there are 5 sliders (GB). All this does is annoy people who want to control individual volumes. Restricting them by linking is *not* a usability improvement because it's less confusing.
"Three sliders? Ok, I got it". "Five sliders? ZOMG I'm confused!"
Google should have made it at least possible to unlink in 'advanced settings' or something. Heck I'd be happy to edit a bulky.config file if that would unlink.

AOKP and CM have the volumes unlinked, according to the specs and users on XDA. I'm guessing it's also possible to get the 'old' vibration behavior back as well. However I'm very happy with vanilla android, and flashing a custom rom just to get this one issue fixed always seemed overkill to me. But as soon as CM10 gets in a more stable state, I just might flash it.
turn off vibrate alerts in Jellybean - I fixed it
dunno how I missed something so simple but I service provider was able to help me fix the problem of the vibrate settings being on for all alerts and ringtones. for the ringtone, its in advanced settings and you can uncheck vibrate there. for the other apps, you have to go into the settings via the app not via the phone settings>apps and do it for each app, so for example, I use go chat for text messages, so I had to go into the app itself and then go to its settings and then turn off vibrate, same for email and facebook. and it worked, its fixed.
Yeah but that's still useless for those of us who just want to toggle all vibration at once, especially with an automated program like Tasker.

Have you tried Sound Manager from the market? It allows you to set vibrate for all notifications via the advanced menu.
I have to be honest that I only tried this in cm10 and in stock ics. I expect it to work in stock jb too.

No it does not work in stock JB. CM10 must have put back what Google got rid of. There is no more global vibrate toggle in stock JB.

My GNex is running 4.2 now, and I've noticed that when the phone is on silent, the phone vibrates when new gmail messages come in. If I check the settings, it specifically says "Never" under vibrate settings.
Has Google changed Gmail's vibrate behavior in 4.2 so that Never actually means Sometimes?
Can anyone confirm?
I hope this gets fixed!

Just a hunch, but I tried it and it worked. If you don't care about not having any notification for gmail (sound or vibrate) then set the notification sound to silent and vibrate never. Unfortunately you won't get sound if you want that, but at least it's not vibrating now.

I want to keep the vibration on for stuff like text messages, just not email. When I'm at work I can read my email on my computer, so I turn my phone to vibrate so that it's not beeping all day long. With 4.2, I've replaced beeping with vibrating. It's very annoying.

I only want my phone to vibrate for text messages/google voice messages.
There is at least one bug ticket raised for this.

Possible solution
Possible solution, for those of you who usually only run between sound and vibrate mode on your phone. Just go into the gmail settings and toggle the vibrate to "only in silent mode" you won't get a vibrating notification...
That's what I just set mine to do.

This didn't work for me. Always vibrates when in vibrate mode no matter what I have set. Funny enough, when I set the phone to silent mode there is no vibration even when it is set to 'Only in silent mode'.
I just hope this is identified as a bug and wasn't done on purpose. It's going to be an annoying few weeks while I wait for another OTA.
Any update to this? I'm having the same problem with text messages vibrating.
Same issue here. I have a custom 4.2 ROM flashed with this problem. I even tried reverting back to stock and reflashing. That did not solve the problem.
Same problem for me with official 4.2 OTA update, on a yakju galaxy nexus
That's no GMail bug, unfortunately it's a new "feature" introduced in Android 4.2. If you ar looking at the commits in AOSP, you can see it is a new system wide sound-to-vibrate conversion feature.
If you change the phone to vibrate mode, all applications which are playing notification sounds are then vibrating. Genious!
It should be possible to deactivate vibration therefor if you disable the notification sound in the specific app.

ATT Galaxy S3, Stock ROM (4.1.1) with root.
I can't get vibration to work for notifications in non-stock apps (mainly trying to get it to work in messaging app: go sms).
In sound, I have 'sound and vibration' checked, but the test notification tool in go sms is reporting that "system vibration is off" and when running the test, it reports "Has turned on vibrate in silent mode"
I have tried putting the phone into 'vibrate' mode and 'mute' mode and comparing the settings, and from everything I see, the vibration settings seem to be correct in my system settings, but I still can't seem to get notifications to vibrate.

Wiped the cache from recovery (didn't see an option for davlik, guessing that's for a custom recovery, and not stock?), still no vibration when using Go SMS, and starting to think (after more digging on the net) that it may be an issue with Go SMS, rather than the Galaxy S3.
I may revert back to using stock messaging for the time being (as i'm not getting as many group texts as I was when I started using go sms for that feature) until I can get this figured out or Go SMS fixes the issue if it's something wrong with the app.
Working now
I'm not sure what happened, but this morning I got a text and vibration worked though go SMS. I don't remember seeing an update come in for it, but everything is working as expected now. Woo~

Under settings / sound / volumes. I have "use ringer volume for notifications" un-checked, but whenever I make a change to either one, they both change. It's really annoying as I don't want to be woken up at night just because someone texted or emailed me. Any help is greatly appreciated. Just to add... I can move the sliders independently, but as soon as I tap "done" and use the volume button to change volumes or go back into settings the ringer and notification sliders are matched up again. I'm on stock ,s-off, unlocked.

I don't know why it doesn't seperate the two, it works fine on my phone, but the Do not disturb isn't such a bad idea.
If you need it to ring during the night(For whatever reason, emergency?) why not add the numbers allowed to call you during the DnD period to the exception list, that way it'll ring through even if you have DnD on?
