Hi,

Where is the PHONE_STATE_CHANGED Intent defined? I can't find it
anywhere in the documentation and am in a situation similar to Bnet's.
I'm trying to get my Activity to pop-up when an incoming call occurs,
I don't like the default view and want my own instead (I wish to
display extra data about the callee than currently displayed).

Thanks,

Marc
