Try this :

String myString = "0101010101";
long blinkDelay = 50; //Delay in ms
for (int i = 0; i < myString.length(); i++) {
   if (myString.charAt(i) == '0') {
      params.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_ON);
   } else {
      params.setFlashMode(Parameters.FLASH_MODE_OFF);
   }
   try {
      Thread.sleep(blinkDelay);
   } catch (InterruptedException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
   }
}

Without the "Thread.sleep()" your code is probably too fast.
