   phoneNumber = manager.getLine1Number(); 

But it returns null. In my setting->about phone->phone number also it shows unknown.

You can check this tutorial for How to Get Own Mobile Number Programmatically

Please read all the information I have written below tutorial there

As I have read, so far some people have conflict about different
behavior of output. There are reports that some SIMs cause this
method to return null.

Because There is no guaranteed solution to this problem because the phone
number is not physically stored on all SIM-cards, or broadcasted from
the network to the phone. This is especially true in some countries
which requires physical address verification, with number assignment
only happening afterwards.
