Question

i have defined a receiver for NEW_OUTGOING_CALL broadcast. But this is not getting invoked.

In my app i have other broadcastreceivers
(phone state, package change) and its all getting invoked.

Please see my android manifest below
I also tried changing the order of definition of receivers (put them before activities etc).
