Calling without using UI

Is there a way to call a contact without showing a UI that allows the user to initiate a call? So when I click on a button, the contact number is immediately dialed like when I go to the last calls in my phone an click on someone, they are immediately called.

The code I am using right now is:

try {
   Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.CALL_ACTION);
   intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + number));
   startActivity(intent);
} catch (Exception e) {
   Log.e("SampleApp", "Failed to invoke call", e);
}

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.CALL_ACTION);

should be

  Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);

This is my complete code:

    Intent intentcall = new Intent();
    intentcall.setAction(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
    intentcall.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + phoneNumber)); 
    startActivity(intentcall);

Add a permission android.permission.CALL_PHONE to the manifest and change Intent.CALL_ACTION to Intent.ACTION_CALL

Code you are posted should not work... there is no CALL_ACTION, use ACTION_CALL instead.

private void call() {    
    try {    
        Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);    
        callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:123456789"));    
        startActivity(callIntent);    
    } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e)        {    
         Log.e("helloandroid dialing example", "Call failed", e);    
    }

AndroidManifest.xml

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