Drop/Intercept Calls

As part of my application I need to block incoming calls. I.e While my application is running, I will drop any call and simply notify the caller that the user is busy or something similar.

I wish to do this using the android SDK, I hope to support Android versions 2.2 and above.

I've already looked at

How to block calls in android (Says, and I quote "It is Mission Impossible for the time being.")

Intercept incoming calls (Also says not possible)

Can we intercept incoming call in android? (Gives telephonyService.endCall(); as the solution)

Create a custom call handling Application (Says it's not possible)

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-developers/gc5vOHjBE30 (discussion seemed inconclusive)

But they don't seem to be of much help. Even after reading of a lot of questions on stack overflow, google groups and other forums I am still not clear as to whether this is possible or not. Also a lot of the questions and threads are over 2-3 years old, thus adding to my confusion.

And if this is possible then what would be the best way to do it?

Seems like this is not possible after android 2.2 which dropped the hidden itelephony interface.

So yes "It is Mission Impossible for the time being."
