Sure, the contacts provider is public, and you can handle the action
that is broadcast by the phone button.
Note that in -any- situation where you are "replacing an app," the
original application will still be there in the launcher for the user
to see, what it means to replace an app is that you handle the various
Intent activities etc that the built-in one does, so the user can
decide to use your app instead of the built-in one.
