I want to hang up incoming call I detect it and then I want to hang it up.

The problem is that this: com.android.internal.telephony.ITelephony is not resolved.

I tried to adding package com.android.internal.telephony to my application and create interface:

package com.android.internal.telephony;

public interface ITelephony {      

    boolean endCall();     

    void answerRingingCall();      

    void silenceRinger(); 

}

but the call is not ended.

Here I detect call, display toast(it is displayed) then try to hang up but as I said first there was no com.android.internal.telephony.ITelephony before I created that package:

private class CallStateListener extends PhoneStateListener {
        @Override
        public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber) {
            switch (state) {
            case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING:
                // called when someone is ringing to this phone
                Toast.makeText(ctx, "Incoming: " + incomingNumber, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                 try{
                        TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) ctx.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
                        Class c = Class.forName(tm.getClass().getName());
                        Method m = c.getDeclaredMethod("getITelephony");
                        com.android.internal.telephony.ITelephony telephonyService = (com.android.internal.telephony.ITelephony) m.invoke(tm);  

                        telephonyService = (com.android.internal.telephony.ITelephony) m.invoke(tm);
                        telephonyService.silenceRinger();
                        telephonyService.endCall();
                    }catch (Exception e) {
                        e.printStackTrace();

                    }
                break;
            }
        }
    }

My Manifest and permissions:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.a"
    android:versionCode="1"

         <service

            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="false" >
        </service>
    </application>

The ITelephony interface is internal, so you cannot get a standard reference to it. You could use reflection all the way, i.e.

TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager) getSystemService(TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

Method m1 = tm.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("getITelephony");
m1.setAccessible(true);
Object iTelephony = m1.invoke(tm);

Method m2 = iTelephony.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("silenceRinger"); 
Method m3 = iTelephony.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("endCall"); 

m2.invoke(iTelephony);
m3.invoke(iTelephony);

But either way those methods need the MODIFY_PHONE_STATE permission, which can only be granted to system apps. So I'm afraid it won't work anyway.
