Hi all,
I read most of the threads about PSC but I can't still make it work for me.
My code looks like the following:
What it should do is simply to mute the ringing for the default telephony app and then un-mute it if it intercepts the ringing status.
Now, everything in service create works as expected, so when calling my device I get the default telephony app to come to foreground, shows an incoming call along with the callig number BUT silenced.
What doesn't work is that the PhoneStatusChanged event is never called so the service can take no action on it.
Correct me if I am wrong, but using PhoneEvents in a service along with Service.StartForeround is an alternative to have an intent filter in the manifest (dynamic vs. static); the benefit of using this approach should be that I can start/stop the service at will comanding when the interception of broadcasts should go on on/off.
Do you think there's the possibility that my device's default telephony app runs the same RINGING interceptor to a very high priority so to be the first to receive it and then one "consuming" it, so nothing is left to my service? If yes, how can I discover it and how can I circumvent it?
