Android 2.1+ Pause for incoming/outgoing call, resume when done

Question

Is there a reliable way in Android to detect the beginning and end of incoming and outgoing calls, in order to do things like pause and play audio.

Answer 1

You are correct in that you don't get any state updates when a out going call is started.

You need to hook into the intent broadcast ACTION_NEW_OUTGOING_CALL. Here is a Android Developer Blog that may help understand the fact that it's a ordered broadcast. And here is a blog post with a simple example of how to setup and use this broadcast.
