create a method called getContactDisplayNamebyNumber in your broadcast receiver and then pass that incoming number as parameter in the method . the method will check whether the number is saved with contact name or not in your mobile if yes it will return the contact name otherwise it will return the unknown number

check out this code

   public String getContactDisplayNameByNumber(String number,Context context) {
    Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(number));
    name = "Incoming call from";

    ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();
    Cursor contactLookup = contentResolver.query(uri, null, null, null, null);

    try {
        if (contactLookup != null && contactLookup.getCount() > 0) {
            contactLookup.moveToNext();
            name = contactLookup.getString(contactLookup.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME));
            // this.id =
            // contactLookup.getString(contactLookup.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID));
            // String contactId =
            // contactLookup.getString(contactLookup.getColumnIndex(BaseColumns._ID));
        }else{
            name = "Unknown number";
        }
    } finally {
        if (contactLookup != null) {
            contactLookup.close();
        }
    }

    return name;
}

  Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(newSender));
  Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, new String[]{PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME}, newSender, null, null );
  if(cursor.moveToFirst()){
        newSender =      cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME));
  }
  cursor.close();

Where newSender is the incoming telephone number
