Reject a call programmatically without a ring

I am creating an app to reject calls from specific numbers without even getting a single ring to the calling person.

I have a code that rejects the call after a partial ring. Please don't say this question is repeated. I have been searching code to reject the call without a ring for long time still didn't find the solution. Kindly help me!

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    Bundle b = intent.getExtras();
    incommingNumber = b.getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);

     String state = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);


        for(int i=0;i<blockedNumbers.length;i++)
        {
            if(incommingNumber.equalsIgnoreCase(blockedNumbers[i]))
            {
                TelephonyManager telephony = (TelephonyManager) 
                context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);  
                  try {
                   Class c = Class.forName(telephony.getClass().getName());
                   Method m = c.getDeclaredMethod("getITelephony");
                   m.setAccessible(true);
                   telephonyService = (ITelephony) m.invoke(telephony);
                   telephonyService.silenceRinger();
                   telephonyService.endCall();
                  } catch (Exception e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
                  }
            }
        }

    }

This is the code I have used to reject the call. But it rejects with one ring.

I believe you have to call:

setResultData(null); 

By doing so you "kill" the message being passed on through all the receivers.

If this doesn't help your should try to find a way to give your receiver a higher priority in the system, so that you can take over and set the result data to null for all the subsequent receiver calls.

Use these permissions in android manifest file;

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />

The first permission "MODIFY_PHONE_STATE" is very important, because this handles disabling Phone Ringing during call. When anybody calls you , at that time your phone will show a FLASH TYPE of the incoming no. with no ringing.

This work at my end. Do tell me if found any problem.

you have to define priority in manifest.. for example:

 <receiver android:name=".CallReceiver">
    <intent-filter android:priority="100">
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
    </intent-filter>
 </receiver>
