Based on the documentation,

Capturing from VOICE_CALL source requires the CAPTURE_AUDIO_OUTPUT permission. This permission is reserved for use by system components and is not available to third-party applications.

Hence, it looks like what you're trying to do is not possible, unless your app is installed as a system app, which will only work on rooted devices.
