Hello, I've been struggling with this beast and it seems that I can't take control over it. What I want is a PhoneStateListener subclass which listens for a LISTEN_CALL_STATE. First I tried to make one instance on RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, leave it attached and then when the event comes - the listener to start a service which will do something for a while and consequently calls stopSelf(). For this purpose I had to keep a reference to a Context (getApplicationCopntext()) in the listener, but this thing didn't seem to work as expected, if I leave it for a longer period - the listener is simply gone - so none of the things I want ever happen. My second approach, which is not what I really want is to start a local service, create the listener in it and leave it alive until the user stops it. This approach has two limitations, the resources which should be spent for a service which just sits and keeps a reference to a PhoneStateListener, and the other thing is that it doesn't seem to work as expected, again. What I do is to keep a reference to the listener in a static variable of my PhoneStateListener subclass, just to know that it is attached and the service is running (this can be controlled from another activity), but it looks that even though my instance is alive (and my service running), and previously attached via listen method to the TelephonyManager, it stops receiving the events after half a day, or so.
I'm not sure if these approaches are correct for what I want. It could have been easier if there was intent for incoming call. I tried to trace what TelephonyManager does with the listeners but couldn't get that deep in the source.
