alterego also mentioned similar issues with launching.

I could never get the call accepted even by clicking on the notification. But i
will verify this once again. I also did not hear any ring tone.
This is a different/special behaviour, when compared to any available
dialer(android, maemo or even symbian), where the user is given a much cleaner
option. How does this work on the ring tone? The issue here is that user will
have to keep looking at the screen to know the incoming call, which is exactly
the issue we were trying to fix. If he is ready to do that he could even start
dialer manually to receive calls.

A clear dialog with many options (deflect, decline,silence, send message etc)
would be the ideal UI to have, at least we should have place holders for it.

The same is being reported in bugzilla (16436) too.
