Android - Hide calling phone number when call is made through my app?

Question

I have button in my Android app to call a desired phone number.

I want to hide this number from callers call log (Yes, I want to hide it from displaying androids call log) is there any possible way for me to display calls made by my app as strings (Eg. if you call 12345678; i want to display it as "my numb")

This is my current code to make the call

public void callUsNow(View v) {
    Intent callIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
    callIntent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:1234567890"));
    con.startActivity(callIntent);
}

Could anyone suggest on this?

Thanks.

No.

If you pass Intent by calling Intent.ACTION_CALL, after con.startActivity(callIntent) other activity will have control over it.
