This will toast and log the incomming number...

  public class CallReceiveD extends BroadcastReceiver {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub


    Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
    if (extras != null) {
      String state = extras.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);
      Log.w("DEBUG", state);
      if (state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING)) {
        String phoneNumber = extras
            .getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);


       Toast toast= Toast.makeText(context,phoneNumber, Toast.LENGTH_LONG);toast.show();

        Log.w("DEBUG", phoneNumber);
      }
    }


}

      }

dont forget the manifest file < receiver android:name=".CallReceiveD"> < action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />

        </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

You can setup a broadcastlistener in your AndroidManifet.xml You must setup your intent to listen for android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE Then you get the phone state from the intent with intent.getExtraString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE) . If it's OFFHOOK or RINGING then a call has come in and you can get the phone number from the intent with intent.getExtraString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER)
