I have not worked with twillo api, but you can achieve events of calling from android system using following code. You should try this out.

To register Broadcast Receiver, write below codes in AndroidMainifest.xml file.

 <receiver android:name=".PhoneStateReceiver"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> 

to give phone state permission to your app use below code in your AndroidManifest.xml file

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

Below is Broadcast Receiver

 public class PhoneStateReciver extends BroadcastReceiver { public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { try { System.out.println("Receiver start"); String state = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE); if(state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING)){ Toast.makeText(context,"Ringing State Number is -"+incomingNumber,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } if ((state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_OFFHOOK))){ Toast.makeText(context,"Received State",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } if (state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_IDLE)){ Toast.makeText(context,"Idle State",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } }catch (Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); } } }
