BroadcastReceiver called, but PhoneStateListener not called

Question

When debugging code below BroadcastReceiverCustom but PhoneStateListenerCustom does not work.

Now I perform the necessary actions only in BroadcastReceiverCustom, but it may not be the best place for this. Any suggestions why PhoneStateListener is not called? Already spent a lot of time on possible reasons, I don’t know? The manifest file is correct with the correct permissions. I do not see runtime exceptions.

BroadcastReceiverCustom.java

public class BroadcastReceiverCustom extends BroadcastReceiver {

private static final String TAG = "BroadcastReceiverCustom";

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        Log.v(TAG, "WE ARE INSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!");

        TelephonyManager telephony = (TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
        PhoneStateListenerCustom phoneStateListenerCustom = new PhoneStateListenerCustom();
        telephony.listen(phoneStateListenerCustom, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);
    }
}

PhoneStateListenerCustom.java

public class PhoneStateListenerCustom extends PhoneStateListener {

    private static final String TAG = "PhoneStateListenerCustom";

    public void onCallStateChange(int state, String incomingNumber){

        Log.v(TAG, "WE ARE INSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!");
        switch(state){
            case TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING:
                 Log.d(TAG, "RINGING");
                 break;
        }

        super.onCallStateChanged(state, incomingNumber);

    }
}

Manifest file

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE" />
<receiver android:name=".BroadcastReceiverCustom">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.PHONE_STATE" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

Answer 1

you should not instantiate TelephonyManager and PhoneStateListener in BroadcastReceiver. here is a sample code:

In action:

EndCallListener callListener = new EndCallListener;
TelephonyManager mTM = (TelephonyManager)this.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
mTM.listen(callListener, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_CALL_STATE);

private class EndCallListener extends PhoneStateListener {
    @Override
    public void onCallStateChanged(int state, String incomingNumber) {
        if(TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_RINGING == state) {
            Log.i(LOG_TAG + "Listener", "RINGING, number: " + incomingNumber);
        }
        if(TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_OFFHOOK == state) {
            Log.i(LOG_TAG + "Listener", "OFFHOOK, number: " + incomingNumber);
        }
        if(TelephonyManager.CALL_STATE_IDLE == state) {
            Log.i(LOG_TAG + "Listener", "IDLE, number: " + incomingNumber);
        }
    }
}

Answer 2

@Override onCallStateChange
