Is there any way to control the amount of times the flashlight flashes? I can get it to turn on and off but I'd like to be able to also have the option to make it strobe. If that makes sense.

Can this be done?

there are API to on off flash light,

you can use those to control it

[smcveigh]

just turn it on and off in a loop with a delay between calls.

Just add a timer and use it to change flashlight state.
