1.Use the accelerometer to detect if the phone user is moving.Hence u will know phone is moving or Not.

2.For incoming calls we need to use the TelephonyManager class and its method listen to register a listener that will receive call state, data connection, network, SIM, and other events related to telephony. We are interested only in the call state notifications. This requires android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE permission.

3.state is the call state, it can be CALL_STATE_RINGING, CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK, or CALL_STATE_IDLE. Ringing is the state when someone is calling us, offhook is when there is active or on hold call, and idle is when nobody is calling us and there is no active call. We are interested in the ringing state.

Refer this link : http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/548416/Detecting-incoming-and-outgoing-phone-calls-on-And

It will guide u through the code.
