Any idea if such an app is about or in development.... Also is this likely to cause damage to the LED if it flashes?

LED lights never wear out. Will definitely slam your battery flashing all day long.

There is already a thread about this here, no app as identified in that thread.
Besides that, most put their phones down with LED flash down, so of limited value.

I don't think they would necessarily slam the battery.... I'm probably wrong, though.
 
The vibration would drain the battery way more than any single LED could possibly do.

Well it would drain more battery than would be drained if the LED didn't flash all the time. And I don't even know why you'd want that IMHO. In daylight you wouldn't even notice.
