Need app for EXTREMELY simple task

I need an app that does an extremely simple task and despite looking all over the place I can't find one that can do it.

I simply need my phone to vibrate for half a second once every ten seconds for ten minutes.

It's for tension release and meditation purposes.

I've found apps that ring bells and make obnoxious Tibetan Monk-esque noises but that actually makes it distracting and defeats the purpose.

Any help is extremely appreciate. Thank you very much.

Easy: I would get my fav vibrator app (...) and make a script with Tasker to set it off like I want.

Any advice or tutorials on how one would actually go about doing that?

Try the Tasker forum under Applications.

http://androidforums.com/tasker/

It would be something like:

Create a Tasker widget
Create a task

Start the vibrator app
Wait a half second
Stop the app
Wait nine and a half seconds

Repeat for ten minutes.


But you have to find a vibrator app that doesn't require tapping on a choice to start.

* Tasker has vibrate under alerts. This will be really easy but I can't get the widget to work.

I had Tasker turned off. The widget only works when Tasker is on.
