I’m guessing the answer is no, but just in case, I’m curious if there’s any way to write a receiver that would launch an app when the phone starts to receive a call. Even something as simple as a dialog activity that says “your phone is ringing”. Or is the phone always going to suppress any other app that’s trying to run?
You can register a
BroadcastReceiverto ‘listen’ for…You can then check
EXTRA_STATEforCALL_STATE_RINGING.However, I’m not sure why you would want to ‘launch an app’. You say…
My phone already tells me when my phone is ringing – I get custom ringtones depending on who is calling me and I get to see their picture too. I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to achieve here.
