Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:03000000000"));           
        startActivity(intent);

Add Permission

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"/>

The Intent.ACTION_DIAL intent (instead of Intent.ACTION_CALL) doesn't need a permission. It only brings up the dialer so the user can decide himself whether or not to call, which is a better user experience in most cases anyway.

Also you can try

<uses-permission android:name="android.intent.action.CALL_PRIVILEGED"></uses-permission>

it's deprecated constant but it helps to start a call instantly without dialer activity opening

There is a clue in the error: requires android.permission.CALL_PHONE

You need to declare the android.permission.CALL_PHONE permission in your manifest:

<manifest android:installLocation="preferExternal" package="yourpackage"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CALL_PHONE"></uses-permission>
        .
        .
        .
</manifest>

Add permission in your manifest.xml like so

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