How can I implement a fake phone call simulator in an android app?

Question

Suppose I want to make a fake phone call app, similar to this iphone app: http://magictap.net/fakecalls/

I've got an AlarmManager that is set to send a PendingIntent to my BroadcastReceiver. Once the BroadcastReceiver receives the intent, I want the fake phone call screen to display on the device (suppose I already have the UI for this designed).

What would this entail? Starting an activity within the BroadcastReceiver?

Answer 1

Open another emulator, and dial the port number for the "receiving" emulator as a call.

For example, if you want to call the emulator running on port 5554, just dial that in the phone number.
