Reject call programmatically

Is there any direct (or convoluted) way to reject an incoming call, i.e. send it directly to voicemail. Meaning
(a) if a call is coming in and matches certain criteria
(b) send the call to VM, and stop the ringing. (programmatically)
I've got (a) under control but I dont know how to do (b).
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jay

Well I know in the phonebook settings there is an option to send directly to voicemail for that particular number but that would require you saving the number in your phone book.

I have Telemarketer1 - 7 right now in my phone book and they all go straight to voicemail with that option. Now if there was some way to block "UNKOWN"!

We need a Call Firewall / Blocker Software which can do following.
Register for Intent which can hook Incomming Call events
When Intent is raised if Checks for the number across Predefined Rules in Priority Order if any Rule matched take Action like
Reject Call
Accept and Immediately Reject THIS WILL COST CALLER
Send to Voice Mail
Reject and Reply with SMS
Reject and Create Reminder for Predefined Minutes to Remind us to Call them Back

great idea

Try Youmail (it works for all phones)

There is a program for WM called Mobion MagiCall that would do everything that everyone wants on android but who can port it...

Back to my question...
Folks
I love the lively chit chat but does anyone have an answer to my original question: how do I reject a call programmatically and on the fly (not through phonebook entries set up ahead of time)?
BTW I will have an app available next week on Android Market that allows you to respond to incoming calls with an "I'll call you back asap" text or email, and it will set a reminder for you to call the caller back.

OMG!!! YES, WE CAN DO THAT!!!
I was going to kill myself after severe 24 hours of investigating and discovering... But I've found "fresh" solution!
// "cheat" with Java reflection to gain access to TelephonyManager's ITelephony getter
Class c = Class.forName(tm.getClass().getName());
Method m = c.getDeclaredMethod("getITelephony");
m.setAccessible(true);
telephonyService = (ITelephony)m.invoke(tm);
all all all of hundreds of people who wants to develop their call-control software visit this start point
http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?...:http://mylockforandroid\.googlecode\.com&d=0
there is a project. and there are important comments (and credits)
briefly: copy aidl file, add permissions to manifest, copy-paste source for telephony management )))
Some more info for you. AT commands you can send only if you are rooted. Than you can kill system process and send commands but you will need a reboot to allow your phone to receive and send calls =)))
I'm very hapy =) Now my Shake2MuteCall will get an update !

I use tcallblocking lite (search the market for it) to block calls from unknown numbers and any rom with the hacked phone.apk in it allows you to add numbers to a blacklist. No need for additional entries in your contact list

Moved as not Android Development.

I tried Call Firewallv1.40 freeware. It seems to be working at blocking unwanted private calls. I found it here http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-call-firewall-v1-4.html. The price is certainly good.
Features & Options:
a. Accecpt all calls - pretty self explainatory
b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected
c. Reject all calls - pretty self explainatory
d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos
e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos
f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected.
for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected
this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.

Google Voice Ringtones

I have Google Voice on my G1, and I'm wondering if there is a way to use a different ringtone for incoming calls on my Google Voice number than from my regular phone number. I've looked around the options but can't find anything as of yet.
Am I missing something and the option is sitting there right in front of my face, or is it just not implemented yet to be able to change the ringtone?

Add your Google Voice number as a contact (I starred mine).
Then assign that contact a different ring tone.
done!

It still didn't work for me :/
The Google Voice number does not call my phone, it simply forwards the calls to my number when people call my GV number. So, say I call my GV number with my house phone, my G1 would display the incoming number as my house number and not change the ringtone to the GV one.

What you need to go is go to settings on GV and change "Caller Id" to display my gv number. That way you get free calls i mean your gv will be calling you. But make sure to put on call screening.

Thank you, that worked. Guess it was a GV issue and not a G1 issue, my bad.

Do you know who is calling you then when someone calls your gvoice number?

You would only know who is calling if you setup GV call screening, so the caller has to announce their name, and you press '1' to accept the call.
With GV passing through the original CID, I don't believe there is any way to set a different ringtone, as your phone isn't going to know the difference. If you use the third party GrooveIP, to send the GV call over IP instead of voice, there may be some other options.

How exactly do I get to the settings of GV to change the Caller ID? I cannot figure out where that setting is. Google again has a great service, but very poor direction or obscure directions on how to implement features. Please help me. Thank you very much.

[Q] Fake Incoming Caller ID

Hi,
Is there any application which fakes incoming caller ID ? I assign some fake number to an incoming number and the fake number is displayed when he or she calls.
The same with SMS too.

just use SmartPhone PhoneyCall to fix it

I'm not looking for a fake call generator.
I'm looking for something which can replace/modify and display different incoming number.

okay , if so try SMSDRFixWM
- Improved phone number searching algorithm
- Improved contact looking up
- Added replacing number in text messages
- Improved Delivery notification design
- Simplified settings
- Deleting moves messages to delete folder
- Fixed setting delivery time

I'm sorry to say that even thats not what I have been looking for. I never mentioned anything about delivery reports. The app you suggested is for delivery reports. It replaces the number and displays contact in a delivery report.
MagicCall is something which suites my need. I tried it, pretty much enough for the calls. Except for Incoming calls it can't replace original number if you want to answer the call.
And for SMS I'm still looking. May be something like which can encrypt.

this application to protect your private and sensitive infomation such as contacts, call history, tasks and SMS
-Call Magic: Answer incoming calls to your phone automatically and/or listen to what is happening around your phone. This ground breaking technology is the only one of a kind solution in the mobile industry!. This solution is software based and does not require any hardware tweaking.
-Call Magic will enable you to answer incoming calls from a pre-defined number at zero ring, i.e. the phone will answer the call automatically without a ring! Every time you call your phone from the pre-defined number, the phone will answer the call without a single ring! After the call is picked up then you can hear what is happening in the surrounding of the phone.
-After Installation Call Magic allows your phone to have three answer modes -- Reject All, Hands-free and Answer One.
-In Answer One Mode you can set a pre-defined number and select the number of rings after which the phone should auto-answer. No further user interaction is required. If you selected, zero rings then next time a call is made to your phone from the pre-defined number, your phone will automatically answer it. No rings, it simply answers! Magic!
-In Hands free Mode the user can select the number of rings after which ALL incoming calls will be automatically answered.
-Reject All Mode will reject ALL incoming calls and send a busy signal to the caller. The caller and you will not be charged for the call. Our software makes the Network Provider send a busy signal to the calling party.
-Call Magic does not require constant activation after the phone is switched on. Call Magic is a Pure Software Solution and starts up automatically when the phone is switched on.
-WARNING! Using surveillance devices, intercepting and/or recording audio conversations, without the consent of all the parties involved might be illegal in your country. Check local laws before using Magic Call.

Tasker Write Google Voice Calls to Calendar

I have an app that writes all my phone calls to my calendar - incoming, outgoing and missed calls all write to my Google Calendar with the number called and the duration of the call. If it's a number in my contacts, it will add that in addition to the number.
But I haven't found a way to get Google Voice calls to do it. I'm hoping someone out there can tell me how I can make, receive, & miss calls write to my calendar using Tasker. I use Voice for calls from and to my patients and that allows me to give them a dedicated number they can call anytime and I can use, if necessary (say for that 3:00 am non-emergency call about something they just "have to tell" me), to screen them.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
