Android: how can I launch phone call in my activity, and then back to it?

I can launch the phone call by Intent：

    String url = "tel:3334444";
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse(url));

But it will stay in the phone call screen. What I want is staying at my app activity. Is it possible that launching the phone call in background? Or return to the previous activity immediately.

You need to implement Phonecall state in side of your activity

// //Handling phone states

private PhoneStateListener phoneListener = new PhoneStateListener() {
      public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber) {
       try {
        switch (state) {
        case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING:
         Toast.makeText(activity.this, "CALL_STATE_RINGING", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
         mediaPlayer.pause();
         break;
        case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK:
        Toast.makeText(activity.this, "CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
         mediaPlayer.pause();
         break;
        case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE:
        Toast.makeText(activity.this, "CALL_STATE_IDLE", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
         mediaPlayer.start();
         break;
        default:
        Toast.makeText(activity.this, "default", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

        }
       } catch (Exception e) {

       }
      }
     };

}

In a background thread (probably needs to be in a foreground service) or on a regular (quickly) repeating alarm poll ActivityManager.getRunningTasks(). The first task is the top-most. Check the topActivity on this task to see if it is the InCallScreen (note on some Ericsson phones this is replaced with a custom class). If it is, bring your activity to the front.

You'll need to use TelephonyManager to watch for on-hook to stop your background thread or alarm if the call is abandoned.
