Nowadays, Android phones have introduced vibration (e.g. for the keypad) as a means of haptic feedback on touch screens. I would like to know whether there is any research available supporting this idea. I have found the following so far,

I know of one paper [1] that explored tactile interfaces on mobile devices. From the article: "Our experiments demonstrated that introducing tactile feedback resulted in a 22% improvement on user performance". That might be a good starting point for your research.
I would also recommend the MobileHCI (http://www.mobilehci.org/) conference if you want find papers related to mobile input.

Maybe you should take a look at this IBM Research idea.
