5Ever considered splitting your one sentence (which starts but doesn't end as a question) in multiple smaller readable sentences? – Matthias Mar 22 '16 at 10:11

Sadly to say, this just isn't entirely* possible. Here are some links detailing why:
Incoming Calls
Note: It is possible to display a custom GUI during an incoming call, but it is not always guaranteed that this custom GUI will be displayed first.
Pop up window over Android native incoming call screen like true caller Android app
Outgoing Calls
Note: it is possible to override the outgoing number called, but not to mask it

Ola App uses a backend telephony system, where taxi cab requests are sent to a phone center(owned by Ola).
Taxi cab drivers register and install a client app that automatically handles calls(and numbers).
This way the identity of the taxi cab driver and the rider can be masked.
When a taxi driver needs to call a rider, that call is passed through Ola's telephony system as well. This is why the phone number displayed on the rider's phone is different from the driver's real number.
Hope that helps...
