Return to app after call ends

How to make a phone call in android and come back to my activity when the call is done?

The call is being initiated from the app via startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:" + phNo)));. After the call ends, I do not return to the app, but to the phone's desktop.

What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to return to the app that has initiated the call? I am not sure if this is allowed in Android.

EDIT: Code added

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);

switch ((int) id) {
    case 0:
        try {
            TextView txtCallDisp = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.itmDdd);
            startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL, Uri.parse("tel:" + phNo)));
        } catch (NullPointerException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (Exception ee) {
            ee.printStackTrace();
        }
        break;
    //... other switch statements

I believe I saw this asked recently and someone suggested adding a call listener and once the call state changed they restarted their activity. Not sure but I'll see if I can find it for you. — DustinRiley, May 31 '11 at 14:46
@Deepak The code I cited is basically all the code. I will add it in a sec. — sandalone, May 31 '11 at 18:13

After you start the phone call have a listener, finish the call activity, and it will redirect back to the last activity (your app). Here is a link to some sample code (it's in spanish but you should be able to make out the code at least): Returning to App After Phone Call

You can't

There are two ways to instantiate a phone call. You can fire off an android.intent.action.CALL Intent with the phone number as the URL (as you're doing) or android.intent.action.DIAL with the phone number as the URL (again). Both of these start the phone app thingy and it won't automatically return control to your app.

have a look on the following URL

I'm sorry but that is incorrect. If you look at the answers multiple people did it and posted how to do it. – DustinRiley May 31 '11 at 14:53
