Answer 1

Need to Extend BroadcastReceiver

public class CallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

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

        try {
            String state =intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);             

             String number=intent.getExtras().getString(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_INCOMING_NUMBER);

                }

             catch (Exception e) {
                    Log.e(TAG," Exception "+e);
                }
        }
}

Answer 2

You need to use a BroadcastReceiver. It should look something like this:

public class CallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    String state = intent.getStringExtra(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE);
    if (state.equals(TelephonyManager.EXTRA_STATE_RINGING)) {
        Intent i = new Intent(context, IncomingCallPopup.class);
        i.putExtras(intent);
        i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        try {
            Thread.sleep(1000);
        } catch (InterruptedException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        context.startActivity(i);

    }
}

I'm sorry I can't give a more detailed answer, but check out this project.

It makes use of an AIDL to communicate with the ITelephony interface. This should get started in the right direction.
