Vibration using Lua

I need to implement phone vibration into my app which I am developing in Lua. My app is initially for Android, but will be for IOS also later on - so I will eventually need vibration for both platforms. But just Android for now.

I am new to cocos2d-x, and am having difficulty finding which methods to call to get this to work.

The closest help I found was this:

But the implementation is with C++ and java, which I am not that familiar with, and I am unsure how to call this from my Lua code.

Can anybody give me some guidelines how to do this?
