Android Call Recording Incoming voice not getting recorded

Question

I'm working auto call recorder app, I'm able to record voice call on below android 6 using MediaRecorder.AudioSource.VOICE_CALL, From android 6 not able to record voice call using VOICE_CALL. I managed to record using MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC but here incoming voice not getting recorded and I want to record voice call in normal mode not in speaker on mode. Please help me on this. (I had tried on Xiomi Redmi 4a(android 6),not working).

 myRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
 myRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
 myRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AAC);
 myRecorder.setMaxDuration(60 * 60 * 1000);
 AudioManager audiomanager =
 (AudioManager)getSystemService(AUDIO_SERVICE);
 audiomanager.setMode(2);

Edit : There is no issue with permissions.

Update : Anyone knows how to forcing another stream to MIC audio source. This requires native android code. Please help me on this Refer this question for more details on routing audio

You need to use ndk. Here are examples of the functions that need to be done.

Load libmedia.so and libutils.so

int load(JNIEnv *env, jobject thiz) {
    void *handleLibMedia;
    void *handleLibUtils;
    int result = -1;
    lspr func = NULL;

    pthread_t newthread = (pthread_t) thiz;

    handleLibMedia = dlopen("libmedia.so", RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL);
    if (handleLibMedia != NULL) {
        func = dlsym(handleLibMedia, "_ZN7android11AudioSystem13setParametersEiRKNS_7String8E");
        if (func != NULL) {
            result = 0;
        }
        audioSetParameters = (lasp) func;
    } else {
        result = -1;
    }

    handleLibUtils = dlopen("libutils.so", RTLD_NOW | RTLD_GLOBAL);
    if (handleLibUtils != NULL) {
        fstr = dlsym(handleLibUtils, "_ZN7android7String8C2EPKc");
        if (fstr == NULL) {
            result = -1;
        }
    } else {
        result = -1;
    }

    cmd = CM_D;

    int resultTh = pthread_create(&newthread, NULL, taskAudioSetParam, NULL);

    return result;}

Function setParameters

int setParam(jint i, jint as) {
pthread_mutex_lock(&mt);

audioSession = (int) (as + 1);

kvp = "input_source=4";
kvps = toString8(kvp);

cmd = (int) i;

pthread_cond_signal(&cnd);
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mt);

return 0;}

Task AudioSetParameters

void *taskAudioSetParam(void *threadid) {
    while (1) {
        pthread_mutex_lock(&mt);
        if (cmd == CM_D) {
            pthread_cond_wait(&cnd, &mt);
        } else if (audioSetParameters != NULL) {
             audioSetParameters(audioSession, kvps);
        }
        pthread_mutex_unlock(&mt);
    }
}

There is a library and an example of use https://github.com/ViktorDegtyarev/CallRecLib
