yeah but it is written in one comment that it may be hopefully added to gingerbread, so i was trying to get it done with using API for JellyBean. But NO solution to the problem — Anchit Mittal, Jul 17 '13 at 07:17

try with startActivity(new Intent("android.intent.action.CALL",Uri.parse("tel:*123" + Uri.encode("#")));

You can use this code you get solution of your app

Intent out = new Intent();
out.setAction(Intent.ACTION_DIAL);
out.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + Uri.encode("+12345#123")));
startActivity(out);

Intent calli=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);

 if ( phno.contains( "#" ))

    phno = Uri.encode(phno+"#");

 calli.setData(Uri.parse("tel:"+( phno ) ) );

 startActivity(calli);

//where phno is string that contains phone number eg *123# or 123456789
