In any software application, you need three things:

Inputs --> Processing --> Outputs

So you will have to split this project into these three categories:

1. INPUTS: Recording voice data
2. PROCESSING: Run an algorithm on the recorded voice file for emotion detection
3. OUTPUTS: Write an emotion to the screen

To achieve number one is quite simple: http://www.benmccann.com/blog/android-audio-recording-tutorial/

The second part is more difficult, you will have to do some research and read some papers: http://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CGoQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcs229.stanford.edu%2Fproj2011%2FVeitZilberMordkovich-DetectingEmotionInHumanSpeech.pdf&ei=uvgPUMXRIcW3hQfA64DgAw&usg=AFQjCNEwLeC9R8jL-HOoBS6QWu-6dbRabQ

The third part is the easiest - and will be left to you as an exercise.

you could also do a very simple emotion detection on the words returned by Google's speech recognition engine. this does not capture the emphasis with which words are spoken but is currently probably the much more realistic approach.
