If your gmail and messaging are set to vibrate, they will do so when the phone is also.
Yeah but that means they vibrate ALWAYS, not just when the sounds are turned off. Basically, there is ringer volume and notification volume. Using the volume rocker on the side of the phone controls just the ringer volume, unless you have selected the option to link the ringer and notifications volume. When you put the rocker to vibrate, it just puts the ringer on vibrate though. You would think checking the box to LINK the two, however, would link them for vibrate too, but *sigh* it does not.

Every smart phone and cell phone I've ever owned put EVERYTHING to vibrate when vibrate was selected. Sooooo annoying that this doesn't work that way. On the one hand, it is nice to be able to customize the notifications for each application that supports it, but damn, that has its downfalls when it comes just wanting to apply a global setting across all the apps.

I will have to checkout QuickProfiles. I use Timeriffic myself, but this one also can't make a vibrating notification for an application does not have its vibrate box checked.

For now I too am living with a ring+vibrate situation in order to have my desired notifications still vibrate when i have the notification sounds turned off.
