How to Reject a call programatically in android

Question

In my app I will maintain a list of contacts.

Any calls from contacts in the list will be dropped. They will show under missed calls but the phone will not ring.

First create this Interface:

  public interface ITelephony {

        boolean endCall();

        void answerRingingCall();

        void silenceRinger();

  }

Then Create this class that extends BroadcastReceiver

public class IncomingCallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    private ITelephony telephonyService;
    private String blacklistednumber = "+458664455";

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

       TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
       try {
         Class c = Class.forName(tm.getClass().getName());
         Method m = c.getDeclaredMethod("getITelephony");
         m.setAccessible(true);
         ITelephony telephonyService = (ITelephony) m.invoke(tm);
         Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
         String phoneNumber = bundle.getString("incoming_number");
         Log.e("INCOMING", phoneNumber);
         if ((phoneNumber != null) && phoneNumber.equals(blacklistednumber)) { 
            telephonyService.silenceRinger();
            telephonyService.endCall();
            Log.e("HANG UP", phoneNumber);
         }

       } catch (Exception e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
       }
}

This will only block that single phonenumber, but you get the point.

In your manifest add this:

<receiver android:name=".IncomingCallReceiver">
    <intent-filter android:priority="999">
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.PROCESS_INCOMING_CALLS" />

hi i did that. But notihing happened. How to create that interface what i mean normal interface or aidl file – harish Sep 08 '11 at 12:44
just create a normal intercafe. But you might need to place it in a package called: com.android.internal.telephony try that. – Finn Larsen Sep 08 '11 at 13:18
even it is not working i think we have to generate aidl file. But do not know how to do that. – harish Sep 08 '11 at 13:30
No you dont have to do that. This works just fine for me. Make sure the phonenumber you want to block is the same as the one that is incoming. You can check it in LogCat under. – Finn Larsen Sep 08 '11 at 13:43
hi Larsen its working i checked now. Thanks for your quick response. – harish Sep 09 '11 at 06:00

Download the class of ITelephony from here.

Then put it in a package (make a new package) of com.android.internal.telephony. Then import the package to the appropriate class and for rejecting a call use the endCall() method
