<script>  
    //listen to shake event
    var shakeEvent = new Shake({threshold: 15});
    shakeEvent.start();
    window.addEventListener('shake', function(){
        alert("Shaked");
    }, false);

    //stop listening
    function stopShake(){
        shakeEvent.stop();
    }

    //check if shake is supported or not.
    if(!("ondevicemotion" in window)){alert("Not Supported");}
</script>

You can also use this code snippet on Phonegap or Intel XDK APP.

    spaces will be stripped off, but all other whitespace
    will be preserved.
    
    Markdown is turned off in code blocks:

To create not a block, but an inline code span, use backticks:

Here is some inline `code`.
