You are getting a ClassCastException because your manifest defines MyPhoneBroadcastReceiver as a receiver, not an activity. You don't need an activity to create the intent, since it takes a Context, and one is provided with onReceive(). Have it extend BroadcastReceiver and alter the intent slightly like this:

public class MyPhoneBroadcastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver{

    public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {
            Intent main_intent = new Intent(context, CallActivity.class);
            context.startActivity(main_intent);
    }
}
