What's the error on Samsung Galaxy Y when you run this code? Are you getting an exception? Can you share the logcat output? — Anton Cherkashyn, Mar 10 '13 at 04:43

try this:

public void onClick(View v){
        context = getApplicationContext();
    if (((ToggleButton)v).isChecked()){
        boolean isEnabled = Settings.System.getInt(context.getContentResolver(),
                Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, 0) == 1;
        if(isEnabled == false)
        {
        Settings.System.putInt(context.getContentResolver(),
                Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON,1);
        Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED);
        intent.putExtra("state", 1);
        context.sendBroadcast(intent);
        }



        }else
        {

            Settings.System.putInt(context.getContentResolver(),
                    Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON,0);
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED);
            intent.putExtra("state", 0);
            context.sendBroadcast(intent);

        }

};
});

In the else part of the code change the number one to number 0.

Look at this page here

http://dustinbreese.blogspot.com/2009/04/andoid-controlling-airplane-mode.html

// Toggle airplane mode.

  Settings.System.putInt(
      context.getContentResolver(),
      Settings.System.AIRPLANE_MODE_ON, isEnabled ? 0 : 1);

// Post an intent to reload.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGED);
intent.putExtra("state", !isEnabled);
sendBroadcast(intent);
where isEnabled is whether airplane mode is enabled or not.
