UPDATE: The really awesome code posted by Gabe Sechan no longer works unless you explicitly request the user to grant the necessary permissions. Here is some code that you can place in your main activity to request these permissions:

            != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        // Permission has not been granted, therefore prompt the user to grant permission
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE},
                MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_PHONE_STATE);
    }

    if (getApplicationContext().checkSelfPermission(Manifest.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS)
            != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        // Permission has not been granted, therefore prompt the user to grant permission
        ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this,
                new String[]{Manifest.permission.PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS},
                MY_PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_PROCESS_OUTGOING_CALLS);
    }

ALSO: As someone mentioned in a comment below Gabe's post, you have to add a little snippet of code, android:enabled="true, to the receiver in order to detect incoming calls when the app is not currently running in the foreground:
